Brentford XI vs Burnley – Predicted lineup and team news

Brentford travel to Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon, aiming to respond to a recent setback and secure a third consecutive Premier League victory on the road.

The Bees have moved into a strong position in the top half of the table despite a surprising 2–0 loss to Brighton last weekend. Manager Keith Andrews oversaw a performance that lacked its usual clinical edge, and his side now looks to return to the away form that has seen them win four of their last five road trips. Notably, Brentford have won three of their last four league games against Burnley and are aiming to complete a rare top-flight double.

Keith Andrews manages a squad nearing the return of a key defender but missing several long-term absentees. Notably, Michael Kayode is back in training and should be available for selection after missing the previous match. Consequently, he could return to a backline that will assess Aaron Hickey following a knock. Notably, Igor Thiago is the club’s leading scorer with 17 league goals, eight of which have come away from home. Kevin Schade is also pushing for a start after returning from suspension to feature as a substitute last time out.

Caoimhín Kelleher will start in goal behind a defensive line featuring Nathan Collins and Kristoffer Ajer. In midfield, Vitaly Janelt and Dean Henderson are expected to anchor the side, with Mathias Jensen providing the creative spark. Dango Ouattara and Kevin Schade will support Igor Thiago in attack. Notably, Schade’s six Premier League goals this season have all come at home, meaning he is still searching for his first strike away from the Gtech Community Stadium.
