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.

Keith Andrews faces key player absences while preparing for this FA Cup match. Frank Onyeka and Dango Ouattara are away for the Africa Cup of Nations. Additionally, injuries have sidelined Fábio Carvalho, Josh Dasilva, and Antoni Milambo, testing the squad’s depth.

In goal, Caoimhin Kelleher is set to start. Jordan Henderson and Mathias Jensen will bolster the midfield, bringing their experience to handle the atmosphere.
