Brentford host Sunderland tonight while they aim to cement their place in the top seven and continue their improbable European charge.
Keith Andrews’ side has moved level on 30 points with tonight’s opponents following a clinical 4-2 victory over Everton. The Bees have been formidable at home this season, losing only once in 10 matches at the Gtech. Consequently, confidence is high as they look to exploit a Sunderland side that, while resilient, is currently depleted by international absences.
Brentford Team News
Brentford are boosted by the news that they sustained no fresh injuries during their high-scoring weekend win. However, Keith Andrews is still without several long-term absentees, including Josh Dasilva, Fábio Carvalho, and Antoni Milambo. Midfielders Frank Onyeka and Dango Ouattara also remain unavailable due to AFCON commitments.
On a positive note, Mathias Jensen is poised to return to the heart of the midfield after recovering from illness. He is expected to partner Vitaly Janelt and Yehor Yarmoliuk to provide the platform for the Bees’ lethal attack. All eyes will be on Igor Thiago, who is currently averaging a goal every 1.4 games and sits on the cusp of a Premier League goalscoring record for Brazilian players.
