Brentford play host to Mansfield Town at Griffin Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Bees are clearly on top, having won 11 and lost only 3 of the 18 games.
The last time the two teams met at Brentford was just over four years ago, in December 2002, the Bees carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League Division Two match.
