AFC Bournemouth host Brentford at Vitality Stadium in a Premier League fixture that pits two sides with contrasting early-season narratives against each other.
Marco Rose's Bournemouth arrive at this fixture searching for a first league win of the campaign. Three matches in, the Cherries have drawn twice and lost once in the top flight, though a 4-0 Carabao Cup victory over Lincoln City last week — capped by a Ryan Christie hat-trick — gave Rose his first competitive win in charge and some much-needed momentum.
That cup result followed a frustrating 2-2 draw at St James' Park, where Bournemouth led by two goals before conceding twice in the closing stages. The inability to see out results has been a defining and damaging trait so far this season.
Brentford, managed by Keith Andrews, come into this match in strong form. The Bees sit fifth in the Premier League table and have lost none of their last five competitive matches, with a 3-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur among the highlights of an impressive opening to the campaign.
Their most recent outing ended 1-1 against Sunderland, a result that halted a run of back-to-back wins. Andrews will want a response at Vitality Stadium.
Bournemouth have home advantage and the backing of their own supporters, but Brentford's form makes them a difficult proposition. Both teams have reasons to push for three points.
Here is everything you need to know about how to watch AFC Bournemouth vs Brentford, including TV channel, live stream, and kick-off time.
