Jordan Henderson has committed a foul in each of his four Premier League appearances for Brentford this season. He’s playing for a Brentford side that have seen an early increase in their foul numbers in the early parts of the campaign.

Brentford were pretty passive when it came to committing fouls under Thomas Frank last season. They averaged just 8.40 fouls committed per game in the Premier League - only Manchester City committed fewer fouls than the Bees. However, this average has risen significantly across the opening five games of the season. 

Brentford are averaging 12.8 fouls committed per game and have committed 11 or more fouls in each of their five matches across all competitions this season.

Henderson’s consistent foul record should continue here up against the solid midfield setup that Fulham boast. Sasa Lukic and Josh King in particular have shown real strength when it comes to winning fouls, the pair have won 12 fouls between them across the opening four Premier League matches.

Henderson’s consistent foul record paired with the general increase that Brentford have seen in their foul count this season should see the England international commit another foul here in what could prove to be an awkward away encounter for Brentford as their previous ones have been against Sunderland and Nottingham Forest. 

There is real value when backing this selection with Bet365, the exact same market is priced as low as 1.36 on other comparable bookmakers.
