We’re set for our first ever trip to Brentford Community Stadium on Saturday (kick-off 5.30pm UK).
The new home of the Bees, the 17,250-capacity ground has played host to an impressive first Premier League campaign for Thomas Frank’s side, who sit 12th in the table ahead of the weekend’s action.
We’re fourth going into the weekend, with three points looking very important if we’re to continue to push for a Champions League place.

Brentford’s goalkeeper kit is all blue, with our stopper set to play in green.
