Brentford will face Aston Villa at Villa Park this Sunday, looking to turn around their recent poor form and complete a season treble against the Villans.
Currently sitting in eighth place, Brentford heads to Birmingham following two back-to-back 2–0 defeats. Manager Keith Andrews has led his team to two previous victories against Unai Emery’s squad this season, and a third win would signal their strong intent. However, Brentford’s away form poses a challenge; they have not managed a single draw in their away games this season and have had trouble maintaining consistency on the road.
Brentford Team News
Keith Andrews faces several fitness issues within his squad after last weekend’s tough match against Nottingham Forest. Key defender Kristoffer Ajer (ankle) and midfielder Mikkel Damsgaard (knee) are both doubtful after exiting the last game early. This might require Andrews to adjust his defensive and midfield line-up for this tough match. Long-term injuries include Josh Dasilva, Fabio Carvalho, and Antoni Milambo, who remain unavailable.
Caoimhín Kelleher will be in goal, backed by a defense that may feature Sepp van den Berg stepping in for Ajer. Michael Kayode is expected to make use of his long throw-ins, which have helped create the most chances in the division this season. In midfield, Vitaly Janelt and Yehor Yarmoliuk are likely to hold the fort. Igor Thiago is set to be the lone striker, continuing his impressive scoring record, second only to Erling Haaland in the Premier League this season.
Brentford Predicted Lineup
Brentford expected XI: Kelleher; Kayode, Van den Berg, Collins, Henry; Yarmoliuk, Janelt; Ouattara, Jensen, Schade; Thiago
