A west London derby gets Double Gameweek 33 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) underway.

Kick-off at the Gtech Community Stadium is at 12.30pm BST.

A win for Brentford lifts them, even if temporarily, into sixth place, while Fulham will move level on points with the Bees if they emerge victorious today.

Igor Thiago will draw level on Premier League goals with Erling Haaland if he finds the back of the net this afternoon. Two or more goals would give him an outright lead in the Golden Boot race.

Antonee Robinson, Josh King, Oscar Bobb and Sander Berge all drop to the bench.

Ryan Sessegnon, Emile Smith Rowe, Sasa Lukic and Tom Cairney take their places.

Raul Jimenez has to make do with substitute duty again, with Rodrigo Muniz keeping his place up top.

        He did first half. The guy on the radio said that save at the end was from Thiago but it was in fact Outarra

          He needs someone else to shoot to be able to "deflect on goal "

        I just can’t catch a break, ML leader WC to max DGW players and still has FH next week so I’m reliant on Haaland TC being the greatest FPL haul of all time this week.

        It’s not even about the overall at this stage as that ship has sailed, but be nice to win a monthly prize for once 🙁

          Won't they still survive if Brom get less than 5 in the last 4 and Leicester win the remaining 3 games?
