Brentford return to the Gtech Community Stadium on Sunday, aiming to bounce back from their league defeat to Crystal Palace.
That loss snapped a three-game winning streak for Brentford. However, the Bees have been formidable at home this season. In fact, they have already secured famous victories over both Liverpool and Manchester United at their stadium.
This fixture certainly promises goals. Impressively, the eight Premier League meetings between these two sides have produced 33 goals, averaging over four per game. Furthermore, Brentford’s attack has been potent at home, scoring in five of their last six games there. Therefore, manager Keith Andrews will be looking for his in-form striker, Igor Thiago, to cause problems for the Newcastle defence.
Brentford team news
Manager Keith Andrews heads into Sunday’s match against Newcastle with a near fully-fit squad to choose from.
The Bees have received a significant boost with this week’s news. Specifically, defender Benjamin Arthur has returned to full training. Arthur has recovered from the minor knee injury he sustained during the Carabao Cup victory over Grimsby. He is now available for selection, which adds valuable depth to the backline.
This positive update means Brentford’s absentee list is now reduced to just two long-term casualties. Midfielder Antoni Milambo is out for the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery on an ACL injury. Meanwhile, Josh Dasilva also remains sidelined. Dasilva is progressing well in his recovery and is back training on the grass, but the club does not expect him to rejoin the first-team squad until next month. Up front, the in-form Igor Thiago is expected to lead the attack, having scored six goals in his last 11 league appearances.
Brentford predicted lineup
Brentford predicted XI: Kelleher; Kayode, Collins, Van den Berg, Ajer; Henderson, Yarmolyuk, Damsgaard; Ouattara, Thiago, Schade
