Brentford Preview

Brentford Predicted Line-up: Mark Flekken; Sepp van den Berg, Ethan Pinnock, Nathan Collins, Mads Roerslev; Vitaly Janelt, Christian Nørgaard; Keane Lewis-Potter, Mikkel Damsgaard, Bryan Mbeumo; Yoane Wissa

Brentford have been pretty decent in the Premier League so far. They sit 9th coming into this game with four wins, one draw and four losses. Their kick-off glitch may have died down but got everyone in the world talking about them.

In the EFL Cup so far, they’ve already beaten Colchester United and Leyton Orient, now preparing to face their toughest opposition in the competition so far in 2024/25.

Brentford love to score, having converted the joint 3rd most goals in the top-flight, but have also failed to keep a single league clean sheet so far.

Sheffield Wednesday Predicted Line-up: James Beadle; Akin Famewo, Di'Shon Bernard, Liam Palmer; Max Lowe, Barry Bannan, Shea Charles, Pol Valentín; Anthony Musaba, Josh Windass; Michael Smith

Sheffield Wednesday certainly have a strong manager in Danny Rohl. They hit a hard patch to start the season but have currently lost just three of their last 10 games, alongside four wins and three draws in all competitions.

In the league they’re 13th with 15 points from their first 12 games. Previously in the cup they won against Blackpool, Grimsby Town and Hull City.

When it comes to standout players, it’s hard to look past midfielder Josh Windass, who scored in their win over Portsmouth last Friday.
