Chris Sutton outlines what he expects in Brentford vs Fulham Premier League fixture

Chris Sutton has predicted Fulham to narrowly lose to Brentford on Monday night.

The Cottagers enjoyed a terrific week after beating Leeds United 2-0 in the FA Cup to progress to the quarter-finals and set up an away fixture against Manchester United.

In the Premier League, Fulham are currently seventh and sit six points behind Tottenham Hotspur who occupy the final UEFA Champions League spot.

Marco Silva's side won the reverse fixture at Craven Cottage 3-2 last August thanks to a 90th minute winner from striker Aleksandar Mitrovic and heading into Monday's London derby, Sutton believes Brentford will get revenge with a 2-1 win.

"Both of these sides are in the top 10 for a reason - they don't lie down, whoever they play, and they are fluid going forward," Sutton said in his BBC column.

"Fulham nicked the points right at the end of a thrilling game when they met in August and I am expecting another close one this time, just with the roles reversed."
