Brentford vs Aston Villa – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Brentford play their first home match of the post-Thomas Frank era on Saturday, welcoming Aston Villa to the Gtech Community Stadium.

After a disappointing opening-day defeat, new head coach Keith Andrews is under pressure to secure a positive result. He will be looking for a much-improved performance from his new-look side to get their first points on the board. The excitement at the Gtech Community Stadium will be heightened by the potential debut of a club-record signing.

Brentford team news

Keith Andrews is expected to make at least one key change to the side that lost at Nottingham Forest. Veteran midfielder Jordan Henderson, who made his Premier League return from the bench last week, is pushing for a start. His experience and leadership could be vital in a young and evolving team.

The Bees’ performance last weekend was undone by a sloppy set-piece goal and a lack of attacking response. Consequently, Andrews will demand more from his forward line, where Fábio Carvalho, Igor Thiago, and Keane Lewis-Potter are expected to continue.

Captain Nathan Collins will again lead the defence. The manager will once more be without forward Yoane Wissa, who remains absent from the squad amid ongoing transfer speculation linking him with a move to Newcastle. In place of him, club record signing Dango Ouattara is poised to make his debut and spearhead the attack.

Brentford predicted lineup

Brentford predicted XI: Kelleher; Kayode, Collins, van den Berg, Henry; Jensen, Henderson, Milambo; Ouattara, Igor Thiago, Lewis-Potter.
