Brentford head coach Keith Andrews has made three changes to the starting XI for the Bees' Premier League game against Aston Villa at Villa Park (2pm kick-off GMT, live on Sky Sports).

Sepp van den Berg, Jordan Henderson and Dango Ouattara have replaced Nathan Collins, Yehor Yarmoliukk and Mikkel Damsgaard in the side.

That trio are named on the bench alongside young midfielder Luka Bentt, who is included in a first-team matchday squad for the first time.

Both Kristoffer Ajer and Mikkel Damsgaard were forced off through injury in the first half of last weekend's home loss against Nottingham Forest, but the former has recovered in time to start.
