Brentford host Wolves at the Gtech Community Stadium tonight, aiming to move closer to European qualification and secure their first league double over the visitors in a decade.
The Bees have moved into seventh place under manager Keith Andrews, who has overseen a clinical league campaign that has seen his side record the division’s highest shot conversion rate (14.5%). Brentford have lost only one of their last six league games and will look to capitalise on a favourable run of fixtures starting tonight.
Brentford team news
Keith Andrews manages a squad hampered by a growing injury list in defensive areas. Notably, Rico Henry is ruled out for several weeks with a “decent” hamstring injury, joining Aaron Hickey, Vitaly Janelt, and Josh Dasilva on the sidelines.
Consequently, Keane Lewis-Potter is expected to continue in a deeper role on the flank. Reiss Nelson has returned to the training group and will be assessed before kick-off to see if he can feature. Notably, Igor Thiago—who has netted 18 league goals this season—leads the division for off-the-ball runs into the attacking third (316).
Caoimhin Kelleher will start in goal behind a defensive line featuring Kristoffer Ajer and Sepp van den Berg. Michael Kayode is expected to start at right-back; his long throws have already directly led to four goals this season—more than any other player in the Premier League.
In midfield, Yegor Yarmolyuk and Dean Henderson will anchor the side, providing the base for Mathias Jensen to create chances. Notably, Brentford score almost exclusively from close range, with 98% of their 44 goals this term coming from inside the box.
