Keeps clean sheet against Forest Kelleher made one save and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 2-0 victory against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Kelleher was rarely troubled, needing just one reaction to secure his third shutout of the season and end a three-game wait for one. His save totals have been up and down, but he has yet to concede more than twice in any of his nine appearances this season, which points to a steady baseline. His team's defensive strength will be put to the test next week by Brighton, the league's highest-scoring side.

Beaten once by Hull Kelleher made one save and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Hull City.

Impact Kelleher wasn't tested much, as the opponents rarely reached his box, and the one goal that got past him this time came from the penalty spot. He now has 26 saves and nine goals conceded over eight games played this season. Given the difficulty of the fixtures Brentford have faced, the defense has held up decently. Thus, a visit from Nottingham Forest, tied for the league's fewest goals scored with six, next weekend gives him a good opportunity at a third clean sheet.

He was beaten only by Dominic Calvert-Lewin's tap-in with 11 minutes remaining, a goal that arrived from a Lukas Nmecha cross rather than any individual error.

Kelleher will be aiming to bounce back with a sharper performance in Sunday's season finale against Liverpool.

MAY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Kelleher missed Saturday's clash against Burnley after welcoming a newborn but is expected to be back in the mix for Tuesday's showdown with the Cherries since he was not listed in the pre match report. That would be a major boost for the Bees given he is the clear number one between the posts and has already racked up 73 saves while delivering six clean sheets across 27 Premier League appearances this season. That said, if he needs a bit more time with his family, Hakon Valdimarsson will be ready to take the gloves again until Kelleher returns.
