Team News
Brentford
Manager Keith Andrews has a near fully-fit squad to choose from. The only long-term absentees for the Bees are midfielders Antoni Milambo (ACL) and Josh Dasilva (knee). Furthermore, Benjamin Arthur is back in full training, providing more defensive depth. Igor Thiago is expected to lead the attack.
Newcastle United
Eddie Howe is facing a fresh injury concern, as winger Anthony Gordon is a major doubt for the match. The forward was substituted with a hip injury in the midweek win over Athletic Club. In addition, the Magpies remain without several players, including Yoane Wissa, Tino Livramento, and Will Osula.
Form Guide
Brentford
The Bees’ loss to Crystal Palace last weekend ended a promising run of three straight victories. However, their home form has been very strong this season. Keith Andrews’ side have already beaten Liverpool and Manchester United at the Gtech Community Stadium. Although they sit 12th, they will be confident on their own patch.
Newcastle United
Newcastle’s away form in the league has been a serious problem. In fact, they are yet to win on the road this season (D3, L2) and are winless in their last eight away league matches. However, their impressive 2-0 European victory in midweek will provide a major confidence boost. They will be desperate to change their domestic travel fortunes on Sunday.
Predicted Lineups
Brentford predicted XI: Kelleher; Kayode, Collins, Van den Berg, Ajer; Henderson, Yarmolyuk, Damsgaard; Ouattara, Thiago, Schade
Newcastle United predicted XI: Pope; Trippier, Thiaw, Botman, Burn; Guimarães, Tonali, Joelinton; Murphy, Woltemade, Barnes
