He’s catching up to Haaland in the Golden Boot race, sitting on 17, with Haaland currently on 22. Nobody else really comes close, the 3rd-highest scorer in the league has “only” 10 goals.
He’s hit a slight blip by his own standards, but the run has been tough. In his last five games he’s faced Chelsea, Forest, Villa, Newcastle and Arsenal. He scored vs Newcastle and even managed six shots against Arsenal, who have the best defence in the league.
He now faces a Brighton side he scored against in the reverse fixture. This time he’s at home, where he’s recorded a goal or assist in half of his matches. Brentford are odds-on favourites to beat Brighton, and statistically, if anyone is most likely to get a goal involvement, it’s Thiago.
