“There were one or two more smiles than normal in training,” Thomas Frank said this week in the afterglow of Brentford’s stunning 4-1 win at Chelsea last Saturday, and quite right too. So, how do they follow that up? Well, another London derby looms on Sunday. They could be playing West Ham at the perfect time, after the Hammers’ tough Europa League game on Thursday, with the second leg next week. But Brentford look safe so the visitors may see this as a good chance to revive their top-four aspirations. Conrad Leach
