Brentford head coach Keith Andrews has made one change to the starting XI for this afternoon’s match against Brighton and Hove Albion at the Amex (2pm kick-off GMT).
The Bees defeated Nottingham Forest 2-0 at Gtech Community last time out, while Fabian Hürzeler's side sit third in the league after an impressive opening to their 2026/27 campaign.
Aaron Hickey makes his third Premier League start of the season, replacing Mathias Jensen in the side.
The latter is named amongst the substitutes and, should he feature, will be the first player since Kevin O'Connor to play 250 league games for the club.
He will also move into the top 20 all-time overall appearances for Brentford, with 282.
This afternoon also sees Dango Ouattara play his 50th Brentford game. The Burkina Faso international winger starts on the south coast.
Yehor Yarmoliuk returns from suspension and is named amongst the substitutes.
