THE TEAM NEWS
BRENTFORD
Thomas Frank has a particularly long injury list to deal with at present, which isn't helped by the fact that Aaron Hickey is now suspended for picking up five yellow cards.
Defenders Ethan Pinnock and Ben Mee could make the squad, however, and Mark Flekken has recovered from illness and should start in goal.
PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Flekken; Ajer, Collins, Pinnock, Janelt; Jensen, Norgaard, Onyeka; Mbeumo, Maupay, Wissa
UNAVAILABLE: Henry (Injured), Hickey (Suspended), Damsgaard (Injured), Dasilva (Injured), Baptiste (Injured), Schade (Injured), Lewis-Potter (Injured), Toney (Suspended)
QUESTIONABLE: Pinnock (Injured), Mee (Injured)
BURNLEY
Vincent Kompany stated that he was hoping for a few of his recently injured players to return for selection here, but he did not specify any names.
Centre-back Jordan Beyer will not be one of the players featuring though, but fellow centre-back Ameen Al Dakhil looks likely to shake off a knock.
PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Trafford; Vitinho, Al Dakhil, Delcroix, Taylor; Berge, Cullen, Brownhill; Tresor, Foster, Odobert
UNAVAILABLE: Beyer (Injured), Obafemi (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Al-Dakhil (Injured), Ekdal (Injured), Benson (Injured), Gudmundsson (Injured), Redmond (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
After a strong start to the season, Brentford have fallen away badly having lost three of their last four games, drawing the other. In fairness to them, they were moments away from beating Man Utd last time out, only to concede twice late on. That defeat probably still feels fresh for the Bees, and Burnley will be sensing vulnerability. Vincent Kompany's men are yet to keep a clean sheet this season though, so it is difficult to have confidence in them capitalising on their opponent's vulnerability. Both teams have scored in five of Brentford's last six games, so that could be the play in this one.
TIP: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
