David Button believes Fulham's game with Brentford will be a battle to control the football, with both sides looking to dominate possession.

Both sides play a brand of football that sees them get on the ball and control the tempo, but both Slavisa Jokanovic's men and Dean Smith's won't be able to do that at Griffin Park, with only one able to come out on top in the possession stakes.

The Fulham keeper, who spent three years at Griffin Park and got promoted to the Championship during his time there, is looking forward to returning to the club and knows what a difficult test it will be.

But the 28-year-old knows what a positive result would mean to his current fans and knows Fulham will have to be at their best to win.

He said: "I'm looking forward to it, I know what it means to the fans and it will be nice to go back there, I'm really looking forward to putting in a good performance.

"It will be a tough game for sure, but I wouldn't disrespect any team because I think anyone can beat anyone in the Championship on their day and can be a good side.

"Time will tell, but starting on Saturday will be a difficult game and we'll have to be at your best to win.

"When I was there, they were keen on having the majority of the possession as well so it will be a battle for the ball and hopefully we can come out on top."
