Brentford seeks to end their trend of early FA Cup exits as they head to Hillsborough today.

The team, managed by Keith Andrews, is currently fifth in the Premier League after a strong holiday period. However, they face a tough match in South Yorkshire, having never won back-to-back visits to this venue. Historically, this matchup can be challenging for favorites. Even with the league difference, Andrews must remain cautious against a Wednesday side eager to prove themselves.
