Brentford team news

Frank will be waiting on the fitness tests of Christian Norgaard and Mathias Jensen, but Rico Henry, Sepp van den Berg, Aaron Hickey, Igor Thiago, Josh Dasilva and Gustavo Nunes all remain sidelined by injuries.

Captain Christian Norgaard is likely to start ahead of Yehor Yarmoliuk in the middle, while January arrival Michael Kayode is yet to make the right-back slot his as Kristoffer Ajer could be preferred from the onset once again.

Aston Villa team news

Despite being named on the bench last time out, it may be too soon for Pau Torres to return to action, while Ross Barkley and Amadou Onana are sure to miss out through injuries.

With Ollie Watkins in line to face his former side, Emery is also expected to hand starts to Matty Cash, Ian Maatsen, Jacob Ramsey and Marco Asensio here.
