Brentford play host to Shrewsbury 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 4 of the 21 games.
The last time the two teams met at Brentford was back in March 1999, over five years ago, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Division Three match.
