Brentford vs Wolves – Match preview and team news Brentford return to the Gtech Community Stadium on Monday night looking to solidify their grip on seventh place as they host a rejuvenated, yet basement-dwelling, Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Bees arrive in West London after a heartbreaking penalty shootout exit in the FA Cup, but their league form remains an inspiration for the Gtech faithful. Under Keith Andrews, who recently committed his future to the club until 2032, Brentford have moved into seventh place, currently sitting four points clear of the chase for potential European spots.

Boasting the Premier League’s highest shot conversion rate at 14. 5%, the Bees have become one of the division’s most clinical outfits. They now enter a favourable run of fixtures and will be eager to complete a league double over Wolves for the first time in a decade.

Wolves, meanwhile, travel to the capital as the league’s bottom club but with a growing sense of belief under Rob Edwards. Since the turn of the year, Wolves have looked like a transformed side, having won their last two Premier League games against heavyweights Liverpool and Aston Villa. While they sit 12 points adrift of safety, a third consecutive win tonight would make them the first team since Leicester City in 2015 to achieve such a feat while starting each matchday bottom of the table.

Edwards has traded pressing intensity for a more rigid defensive structure, leading to a “cup final” atmosphere for every remaining game.

Rico Henry and Aaron Hickey are both sidelined with significant hamstring injuries, while Vitaly Janelt and Josh Dasilva remain out.

Notably, Reiss Nelson has returned to training and faces a late assessment to determine his involvement. Igor Thiago remains the primary attacking threat, having made more off-the-ball runs into the opposition box (151) than any other player in the league this season. Wolves Rob Edwards is “really hopeful” that goalkeeper José Sá will be available after training this week following an ankle issue.
