We have some exciting all Premier League clashes to enjoy in the FA Cup third round this season, including the meeting between Brentford and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The game will be played on the 5th of January at the Gtech Community Stadium with the hosts currently 16th in the Premier League and the visitors 11th in the table.

Brentford come into the match on the back of a 3-1 defeat at Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

It was Brentford who opened the scoring in just the 2nd minute but it went downhill from there for the Bees.

Crystal Palace equalised in the 14th minute and took the lead 6 minutes before half time. Crystal Palace added a third goal in the 58th minute and Brentford could not find a way back into the match.

The defeat at Selhurst Park means Brentford have lost each of their last 5 fixtures, all of which have been played in the Premier League.

There have been defeats against Brighton and Sheffield United away plus Aston Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers at home.

In terms of the FA Cup, Brentford have lost 3 of their 4 most recent games in the competition.

There have been defeats against Leicester City and West Ham United at home plus Everton away.

Brentford have lost 3 of their last 4 home FA Cup ties with the only win coming against Middlesborough in 2021.

Wolverhampton Wanderers make the trip to the Gtech Community Stadium having beat Everton 3-0 at home in the Premier League last time out.

Wolves opened the scoring in the 25th minute to lead 1-0 at the interval. Into the second half and Wolves doubled their advantage in the 53rd minute and added a third goal 8 minutes later.

The win over Everton means Wolves are undefeated in 5 of their 6 most recent fixtures and have won each of their last 3 games.

There have been victories over Burnley and Chelsea at home plus Brentford away, all in the Premier League.

Trends show Wolves have won only 1 of their last 5 FA Cup games.

The win came at home against Sheffield United in 2022 but there have been defeats against Liverpool, Norwich City, and Southampton. However, Wolves are undefeated in 4 of their last 6 away FA Cup ties.

Looking ahead to the team news and Brentford are without the suspended duo of Ivan Toney and Ben Mee. Bryan Mbeumo, Aaron Hickey, Kevin Schade, and Joshua Da Silva are injured plus there are doubts over the fitness of Kristoffer Ajer.

Wolves travel with no major injury or suspensions concerns and should be at full strength for this match.

Brentford have hit a troublesome period of the season and have been losing games. Wolves, on the other hand, have found some form and will be feeling confident heading into this match, especially having beaten Brentford 4-1 recently in the Premier League.

We should see goals in this game and Wolves could progress to the fourth round, with both teams scoring.
