As for the team news, Jean-Philippe Mateta starts up front for the visitors, despite limiting training with his teammates after featuring for France at the Olympics.
Centre-back Marc Guehi also starts amid interest from Newcastle United.
New arrival Daichi Kamada takes up the Michael Olise role next to Eberechi Eze, with fellow new signings Chadi Riad and Ismaila Sarr on the bench.
There’s no Ivan Toney in Brentford’s squad.
“A lot of things going on with Ivan [Toney], especially with transfers, there’s a lot of transfer interest. Because of all that, we’ve decided not to include him in the squad.
“I can’t give too much away the day before. Of course, Ivan is a top player, we all know that. He has been fantastic for us for four years but we showed last season we can cope without him.” – Thomas Frank
Bryan Mbeumo, Kevin Schade and Yoane Wissa, who started the last few friendlies together, instead lead the Brentford attack.
New signing Favio Carvalho makes the bench.
