RB - Kayode

CB - Collins

CB - Van den Berg

LB - Henry

CM - Yarmoliuk

CM - Henderson

AM - Damsgaard

RW - Outtara

LW - Schade

ST - Thiago

Brentford Team News:

• An unchanged back-5 despite the fact returning attackers means Lewis-Potter likely does not in attack and therefore him vs Henry for the left-back spot does become a question mark.
• We suggested Henderson could move into one of the 2 deeper midfield roles after Jensen and Yarmoliuk failed to impress in GW1 and exactly that occurred.
• New signing Outtara scored in GW2 and will start again.
• Schade played 45 minutes last week and is fit enough to start in GW2.
• Wissa was not in Brentford’s squad for GW2 or their midweek EFL Cup game against Bournemouth as he seeks his move to Newcastle.
