Brentford travel to the Vitality Stadium tonight, aiming to complete a historic Premier League double over Bournemouth and maintain their push for European qualification.
The Bees have moved into seventh place in the table following a thrilling 4–3 victory over Burnley on Saturday. Manager Keith Andrews oversaw a performance that highlighted his side’s physical dominance and clinical finishing, and they now face an opponent they have beaten in five consecutive meetings. Notably, Brentford have won five of their last six away league games and could secure four straight wins on the road for just the second time in their history.
Brentford team news
Keith Andrews manages a squad nearing the return of several players but missing key figures in midfield and defence. Notably, goalkeeper Caoimhín Kelleher is set to return to the starting XI after missing the weekend’s win due to the birth of his child. Consequently, he will provide a significant boost to a side looking to avoid the late defensive lapses seen at Turf Moor. Notably, Igor Thiago has been the most valuable player in the Premier League this season, with his 18 goals directly earning Brentford 15 points.
Caoimhín Kelleher will start in goal behind a defensive line featuring Sepp van den Berg and Nathan Collins. In midfield, Jordan Henderson is an option to start alongside Yegor Yarmolyuk, as the Bees manage without the injured Vitaly Janelt. Kevin Schade, who scored a hat-trick in the reverse fixture in December, will support Igor Thiago in attack alongside Dango Ouattara and Mikkel Damsgaard. Notably, this is Brentford’s fifth Premier League game on a Tuesday, and they are still searching for their first-ever victory on this day of the week.
