Confirmed team news: Hickey replaces Kayode as Brentford face Brighton | OneFootball

Head coach Keith Andrews has made two changes to Brentford’s starting XI for this afternoon’s Premier League game against Brighton and Hove Albion (3pm kick-off GMT).

The Bees drew 1-1 with league leaders Arsenal in their last top-flight fixture, while Fabian Hürzeler’s side lost 1-0 away at Aston Villa.

Aaron Hickey and Jordan Henderson come into the team at Gtech Community Stadium, replacing Michael Kayode and Yehor Yarmoliuk.

Yarmoliuk is on the bench, with Kayode absent from Saturday's matchday squad after picking up a knock in training.

James Milner starts for Brighton and will break the all-time record for the most appearances in the Premier League.
