Fulham will again be without Floyd Ayite when they aim to take another step towards promotion against local rivals Brentford, live on Sky Sports Football on Saturday evening.

The forward sustained a hamstring injury at Sheffield Wednesday last weekend and could also miss next Friday's test at in-form Millwall. Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic could name the same side that earned a 1-0 victory over Reading, although he does have options in the likes of Neeskens Kebano and Oliver Norwood.

The midweek win moved Fulham a point above Cardiff in their battle for automatic promotion.

Alan Judge could miss the short trip as he continues to struggle with a hamstring problem. The issue forced Judge to miss Tuesday's victory at Nottingham Forest and he did not train on Thursday.

Fellow midfielder Ryan Woods is available after completing his three-match ban while winger Florian Jozefzoon is back in training and could feature. Brentford are 10th in the Sky Bet Championship, four points adrift of the play-off places with four games remaining.

Live EFL

Brentford have won their last three league matches, all 1-0 - only three of their previous 30 wins had been 1-0 before this run.

Fulham are now unbeaten in 20 league matches (W16 D4) - only three teams in second tier history have gone unbeaten for 20 or more matches during a season and not finished in the top two, most recently Brighton in 2015-16 (the others are Preston in 2005-06 and Blackburn in 1987-88).

The Bees haven't won four Championship matches in a row since October 2015 under Lee Carsley.

Prutton's prediction

What a job Fulham have done to get themselves above Cardiff and into the top two. It's 20 games unbeaten now for Slavisa Jokanovic's side and 16 of those have been wins. What a remarkable run it's been.

Brentford are a tough proposition for them, however. The Bees still have a shot at the play-offs and they turned Fulham over at Griffin Park in December. I think this will be close, but I fancy Fulham to just about edge it.

David Prutton predicts: 1-0 with Aleksandar Mitrovic to score (20/1 with Sky Bet)
