Real banana skin in the championship and I can see the same here, they're no mugs. 3-2 them.

why do they have handles on their backs then?

I always felt they were more organised than us. Despite us having more quality in every position on every occasion we've ever met, they just worked harder and had a better structure.

With McGinn back, Ramsey looking like (well I won't tempted fate but you know who I'm thinking of) and Sanson in contention, there's no slacking here.

I think we'll match their aggression, tempo and effort and our quality will tell.

We have a huge opportunity to cement ourselves as top half before January spending commences.

Just received an email from the club linking you to the Brentford declaration page about your COVID/Vaccine status.

It does let you fill it in on behalf of others too. The club state its mandatory.

Do you have to complete separate forms for each of your group? If so can you open the form again after submitting it? I can't see an option for multiple entries.

Brentford seem to play very well against the Sky 6 but dip off against those around them. If we're decent strength, we beat them.

its the Villa you are talking about - we don't conform to normal rules or regulations.

Think this will be a draw.

They haven't won much recently but they give everyone a tough game down there....Chelsea and Man. City only scraped 1-0 wins and they've beaten Everton and Watford in last month.

Not sure Hause will cope too well v them as Toney and their other forwards have decent movement. That said they do have a long throw but I think we'll see Axel come in for Mings.

2-2.

Should be a win for us but they've proved a bit of a bogey team since we first (in recent years at least) clashed with then in '16. Nevertheless I'm saying 2-0...

On betfair its 500/1

Hoping their new ground it lucky for us. Can't be much worse then Griffin Park.

The Tuanzebe v Hause decision will be an interesting one. My preference would be to pick the natural LCB in his preferred position and leave Konsa RCB. McGinn will come back in for Sanson. Wonder if Traore might be given a chance in the front three, they were desperate v Chelsea. Ings will drop out again.

That's me (temporarily) a quid lighter.
Superstitious day all round in our house, I've just been deterred from putting a wash on on this particular day thanks to learning I shouldn't tempt death upon the household.
