Brentford will visit Turf Moor on Saturday, looking to bounce back from a recent defeat and secure their third straight Premier League win away from home.

Despite a surprising 2–0 loss to Brighton last week, Brentford remains in a solid position in the top half of the table. Manager Keith Andrews noted a lack of finishing in that match and hopes his team can regain their strong away form, having won four out of the last five matches on the road. Brentford has also won three of their last four league games against Burnley and aims to achieve a rare double this season.

Keith Andrews is managing a squad close to welcoming back a key defender, though they remain without several long-term injured players. Michael Kayode has returned to training and should be available after missing the last match. He might join a backline that will evaluate Aaron Hickey, who is dealing with a minor injury. Igor Thiago is Brentford’s top scorer this season with 17 league goals, with eight of those scored away from home. Kevin Schade is also vying for a starting spot after coming back from suspension and playing as a substitute recently.

Caoimhín Kelleher will start in goal behind a defensive line of Nathan Collins and Kristoffer Ajer. Midfield duties are expected to be handled by Vitaly Janelt and Dean Henderson, with Mathias Jensen playing a creative role. In attack, Dango Ouattara and Kevin Schade will support Igor Thiago. It is worth noting that all of Schade’s six Premier League goals this season have been scored at home, and he is yet to find the net away from the Gtech Community Stadium.
