Brentford are out to bounce back from the 3-0 loss to Arsenal that they suffered ahead of the international break by beating Bournemouth on Saturday. But the Cherries are looking to make it four games without defeat by claiming a positive result.
Bournemouth picked up five points from matches against Wolves, Nottingham Forest and Newcastle to lift them up to 12th in the English top-flight, while Brentford sit ninth after seven matches.

Bournemouth vs Brentford preview
Bournemouth will have to do without captain Lloyd Kelly for this match as he is still struggling with a knee injury.
Joe Rothwell, Ben Pearson and Ryan Fredericks are nearing a return to action, though it is unclear if they can feature in this game, while Junior Stanislas and David Brooks are still out for the time being.
The home team are unbeaten under interim coach Gary O'Neil and will be hoping to extend that run, but Brentford have been in fine form so far this season.
They were beaten 3-0 by Arsenal last time out, but had gone four games unbeaten before that match.
Brentford have a few fitness issues to deal with, though, as Christian Norgaard and Ethan Pinnock are still out and Keane Lewis-Potter is an uncertainty.
Bournemouth vs Brentford tips and predictions
Ivan Toney is in fine form for Brentford this season, having scored five times so far. He was challenged by his manager to stay focused after missing out on a place in the England squad, so backing him to score anytime at 6/4 (2.5) is an appealing bet.
