Brentford prepare to entertain Walsall at Griffin Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Bees are clearly on top, having won 22 and lost only 4 of the 36 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Griffin Park was less than a year ago, in November 2009, the Bees carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a F.A. Cup match.
