They are no longer a team you can easily wish away.

Fulham Spoiled the Party

Before they fell to Fulham's sword 1-0, Brentford had enjoyed a 12-game unbeaten run. The last time they had tasted defeat was on October 23rd, making their run the longest active streak of any club in the English Premier League.

You could be tempted to think they managed that impressive form because they met teams below them on the EPL table. Not so fast! Thomas Frank's men played Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur during that period and amassed eight points.

During the 12-game unbeaten run, they won six matches and drew six, bagging 23 points. They also emerged with an 11-goal advantage, having scored 22 goals and conceded 11.

Newcastle Recorded the Highest Unbeaten Run This Season

Eddie Howe has done an impressive job at St. James' Park. The Magpies began the season on a high, going 17 games without tasting defeat from September to February. That run saw Eddie Howe's men cement their spot in the top four for the better part of the season. Their impressive run was brought to an unpleasant halt by Liverpool in February.

Arsenal is the Only "Big Six" Team to Beat the Bees

Mikel Arteta's men are the only "big six" team to beat The Bees this season. The Gunners have been impressive this season and look set to win the EPL title. Arsenal have also enjoyed a 13-game unbeaten run over several months. Coincidentally, their 13-game unbeaten run began with a 3-0 win over Brentford in September. The Gunners' winning streak ended with a 1-0 loss to struggling Everton.

Final Thoughts

Brentford look set to finish in the top half of the table. The team's consistency has made them difficult opponents to play against. What position do you think Brentford will finish this season?
