Fulham got their Premier League season underway last week with a 1-0 win against Everton at Goodison Park, with Bobby Decordova-Reid finding the net for Marco Silva's side.
Aleksandar Mitrovic even appeared in the game, too, after a summer of flirting with a move to Saudi Arabia. Though speculation persists, Raul Jimenez started up front for Fulham and is a great option to call upon instead of the imposing Serbian.
They welcome west London rivals Brentford to Craven Cottage for this clash, with Thomas Frank's side fresh from a 2-2 draw with Tottenham. Bryan Mbuemo and Yoane Wissa both opened their Premier League accounts for the season in the game, highlighting Ivan Toney might not be such a big miss after all.
The first derby of the season, expect some tasty challenges flying in.
Kick-off is at 3pm BST. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League wherever you are.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
