The start of two home games in four days for the Clarets

Burnley make their first ever visit to the Brentford Community Stadium to take on Brentford on Saturday (3pm). The Clarets have won their last three away fixtures against the Londoners, all at Griffin Park.

Thomas Frank’s side won 3-1 at Carrow Road last Saturday with Ivan Toney getting Brentford’s first ever Premier League hat-trick.

Burnley

Captain Ben Mee missed the home defeat to Chelsea after sustaining a leg injury against Leicester City. He is set to miss the Brentford game too.

Johann Berg Gudmundsson picked up a calf injury while he was recovering from appendicitis. He will be a long-term absentee.

Matej Vydra has picked up an elbow injury when he was back in training after a hernia operation.

Erik Pieters will miss out again after he picked up a knee injury against Crystal Palace.

Dale Stephens has missed the last three games with a thigh strain. He is back in training but Saturday may come too soon.

Brentford

England U21 international Josh Dasilva was sent off in the home defeat to Newcastle United and misses Saturday’s game through suspension.

Danish international Christian Norgaard picked up a knock on the win at Carrow Road. He will be assessed ahead of this weekend.

Ivan Toney returned to the Brentford starting line-up for the win against Norwich City. He scored Brentford’s first top-flight hat-trick since Scot Bobby Reid way back in 1937.

Norwegian international defender Kristoffer Ajer was substituted in last Saturday’s win and will need to be checked ahead of the game.
