Brentford

Brentford remain without eight players for Saturday's welcome of Aston Villa, with Christian Norgaard and Mathias Jensen among those missing.
That should see Yehor Yarmoliuk continue alongside Vitaly Janelt at the base of the midfield.
With such a long turnaround between games, Thomas Frank may go with the same XI that started the 1-1 draw with Everton last week.
Aston Villa

Aston Villa's injury list has eased considerably of late with just Amadou Onana and Ross Barkley missing for Saturday's trip to Brentford.
Barkley should return for the second league meeting with Club Bruges next week to swell Unai Emery's midfield options.
Boubacar Kamara may come into the XI either in place of John McGinn, or with the Scottish midfielder pushed into a more advanced role.
