There are two days of games for Brentford's Futsal scholars this week.
Brentford FC Futsal Club will be in action today, Tuesday February 3, and tomorrow as they begin the first round of The Soccer AM Cup followed by FLT League fixtures against Brighton.
First up for the Futsal Bees is a trip up to Birmingham International Futsal Arena, as they look to secure a top two berth in their Soccer AM Cup group.
The first round draw pits Brentford against Cardiff City, Southampton and Crawley Town.
A total of 48 clubs have entered the competition, sponsored by Sky Sports cult Saturday morning programme Soccer AM.
Cardiff are sitting top of their division unbeaten, so will be the team to beat.
Southampton are having a similar season to Brentford, while The Bees will be familiar with Crawley as they play in the same league division as Brentford.
Brentford will be taking all their available players, giving them a squad of 12 to utilise in the five-a-side version of the game.
The round-robin format see each team play each other with a game lasting 30 minutes with a half time interval.
The top two will qualify for the televised second round main competition.
The bottom two will enter into a Plate Competition.
The Bees will be leaving Griffin Park around 7am and will also be accompanied by Bees Player’s Sean Ridley who will be shooting a feature about the day.

Brentford will need to be at their best as they face a double fixture against Brighton and Hove Albion the following day at SportHouse Barking.
Brighton’s ‘A’ team became the first team to defeat Chelsea last time out, despite arriving late and with a minimal warm-up.
The Bees suffered a 9-1 defeat against Brighton earlier in the season and the incentive is clear to improve on that result.
The ‘B’ team draw 1-1 with Brighton when they played back in mid-November and will look to see if they can go one better this time.
