Brentford B play their first competitive match of 2024 and it comes in the form of the Premier League Cup as the Bees host Burnley (12.30pm kick-off)
Neil MacFarlane’s side have prepared for this fixture with two behind-closed-doors friendlies against Southampton’s Under-23s and Brøndby.
The young Bees took a valuable point at table-toppers Fulham last time out in the competition and victory on Saturday afternoon will all but confirm a place in the next round.

Reaction from the camp
Kyreece Lisbie has shown great confidence since his return from injury as his positive performances have seen him start in the two friendlies the young Bees have been involved in.
He said: "There has been a lot of focus and preparation towards this game on Saturday and I think it is clear to see that the team have come a long way from where they were at the beginning of the season and obviously performances have been backing that up.
"I have been truly grateful to the staff and everyone who has helped me get back on the pitch. It is never easy coming back from long-term injuries but the fact that I have been able to still show what I am able to do is something I am grateful for."
He continued: "Playing with Ivan [Toney] and other first-team players has been a great experience too as they have a different perspective and understanding of the game. Sharing the pitch with them only shows what I can still achieve."
