Confirmed team news: Bees unchanged for Fulham clash | OneFootball

Brentford head coach Keith Andrews has named an unchanged starting XI for today’s Premier League clash against Fulham at Gtech Community Stadium (12.30pm kick-off BST, live on TNT Sports).

The Bees sit in seventh, five places and three points ahead of the Cottagers, going into this afternoon’s west London derby.

And Andrews has opted to stick with the same side who drew 2-2 against Everton last Saturday, when Igor Thiago added to his hat-trick at Hill Dickinson Stadium with a brace against the Toffees.

Aaron Hickey has been absent since sustaining a hamstring injury in February’s home defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion, but returns to the matchday squad for the first time in nearly two months.

He replaces Riley Owen on an otherwise unchanged substitutes bench.

Brentford (4-3-3): Kelleher; Kayode, van den Berg, Collins, Lewis-Potter; Yarmoliuk, Jensen, Damsgaard; Ouattara, Thiago, Schade

Subs: Valdimarsson, Hickey, Pinnock, Nelson, Ajer, Donovan, Bentt, Shield, Stephenson

Fulham (4-2-3-1): Leno; Castagne, Bassey, Andersen, Sessegnon; Cairney, Lukić; Wilson, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Muniz

Subs: Lecomte, Reed, Jiménez, Bobb, Berge, Chukwueze, King, Diop, Robinson
