Brentford (A) - Wed 29th Dec, 20:15 | Pre-Match Thread

Live on Amazon Prime (UK). Kick off at 20:15 (GMT).


We come into this one of the back of 9 straight league wins, this would take us to 10. I would expect more rotation for this one as we face Arsenal on New Years Day.

Unsure on any Brentford news but you'll get an idea of how they're shaping up when they face Brighton tonight.

Injury/Absentee News
Torres - Still out
Walker - Still absent
Rodri - ???

No risk of suspensions as the yellow card threshold has now reset.




Team selection in this game is important as Arsenal now have a break before New Years Day:

 

[K-Bo]

Would expect some rotation in front 3, if Rodri still out not sure ferna can okay two 90 mins in three days, so interesting to see what happens there

 

[kupest]

Foden, Grealish definitely will come in for this. Won't be able to rotate at the back unluckily.

 

[Gigant]

Due to current situation
Eddy
Cancelo Dias Laporte Zinchenko
KDB Gundogan Bernardo
Mahrez Sterling Grealish

Otherwise Rodri, Walker in

 

[Semper aggressus]

Weird time of year. They’ll make it their cup final. Fearing a fuck up here unfortunately.

Hopefully proved wrong.

Need Rodri back.

If Stones or Ake are available, it might be wise to leave Ruben out. He's one yellow card away from a two match ban. That threshold goes up from five cards to ten on new year's eve.

I thought the cut off was 19 games and today was the 19th game, mind you I could well be wrong

Mind you, that is from the Sun, who have been known to get things wrong from time to time.
