Brentford will be eyeing a third straight win in all competitions when they make the trip north for Saturday’s Premier League showdown with Sunderland.
The Bees shook off their opening-day setback against Nottingham Forest by stringing together back-to-back victories, edging past Aston Villa in the league before brushing aside Bournemouth in the EFL Cup.
As for newly-promoted Sunderland, their bright start with a statement win over West Ham quickly lost momentum. They slipped to a 2-0 defeat against Burnley in the league and were then dumped out of the EFL Cup on penalties by League One side Huddersfield Town in midweek.
