Albion ended their seven-match run without a Premier League win by beating Nottingham Forest 3-2 in late November, only for Chelsea to edge a 3-2 thriller at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
The Bees, on the other hand, have won three of their last five, including a 3-1 victory over Luton Town last time out.

He told Paddy Power: "Brentford beat Luton and Brighton lost 3-2 to Chelsea at the weekend and their funny results have generally come after they’ve played in midweek. We know Roberto De Zerbi changes his team a lot but I still fancy to win this at home, 2-1."
A win for Brighton could see them leapfrog Manchester United into seventh place in the table if the Red Devils slip up to Chelsea tonight. However, a Brentford victory would see them draw level with the Sussex outfit.
