Kaye Furo has been named in Brentford’s starting XI for tonight’s FA Cup fourth-round tie against Macclesfield at Leasing.com Stadium (7.30pm kick-off GMT, live on TNT Sports).

The striker will make his debut for the club a month on from signing for the Bees from Club Brugge.

Furo replaces Igor Thiago, who is not included in the matchday squad, as Keith Andrews makes seven changes from Thursday’s 1-1 draw against Premier League leaders Arsenal at Gtech Community Stadium.

Michael Kayode, Vitaly Janelt, Yehor Yarmoliuk and Mathias Jensen are the four to retain their place in the side, while Kristoffer Ajer, Sepp van den Berg, Keane Lewis-Potter and Dango Ouattara are named amongst the substitutes.
