Brentford prepare to entertain Barnsley at Griffin Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Bees are clearly on top, having won 14 and lost only 4 of the 26 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Griffin Park was just last season, in January 2005, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League One match.
