Kevin Schade, carrying an injury, was a second-half sub in Brentford's loss to Liverpool. Keith Andrews said Mathias Jensen's half-time exit, back from injury, was planned, not about form. Sepp van den Berg, first start since surgery, came off after pushing hard with 10 men.
"No hesitation about starting Dango. He was brilliant." Keith Andrews on Dango Ouattara, who came into Brentford's starting XI for the injured Kevin Schade in the 17 October loss to Liverpool, their first defeat of the season. Andrews: "We'll reset and we'll go again."
Jannik Schuster and Kevin Schade, both off injured at Villa, have trained on the grass, but Keith Andrews would not commit to either for Brentford v Liverpool on 17 October. He is "fully anticipating" Nathan Collins, Sepp van den Berg and Mikkel Damsgaard being involved.
