Brentford vs Charlton Athletic LIVE!

Brentford's Championship promotion chase continues with a London derby clash against Charlton Athletic today.

Thomas Frank's team have made a superb restart to the season: the Bees have won four out of four - including against West Brom and Fulham - and scored nine goals without reply to leave them five points off an automatic promotion spot.

At the other end of the table, Lee Bowyer's Charlton sit two points outside the relegation zone and need a result after a dramatic campaign both on and off the pitch - and the Addicks will not want to head to Leeds on the final day of the season needing a result.

With kick-off at 6pm BST, follow the action with Malik Ouzia at Griffin Park!

How to watch

TV channel and live stream: Brentford vs Charlton will be shown live the EFL's iFollow digital platform.

Team news

Brentford will be banking on Said Benrahma continuing his fine form following a superb hat-trick in the 3-0 win over Wigan, while Josh DaSilva could come in after Shandon Baptiste was injured against the Latics.

Benrahma says belief is growing that this season could become a historic one for the west London club: "There is no reason why we cannot go and get something good. We have a goal, we have to go and get it."

Prediction: Brentford 2-0 Charlton

Given their respective positions and Brentford's form, it's hard to look beyond a home win.

Still, Charlton have conceded just one goal in their four games back, and the Bees shouldn't expect to coast this one.

Head to head (h2h) history and results

Charlton have beaten Brentford 26 times, with the Bees winning 17 and drawing eight.

The last time the two sides met, Charlton won 1-0 at The Valley back in August.
