Who Gets Your Brentford Player of the Month Vote?
Brentford have opened voting for their October Player of the Month, with four names in the running:
Igor Thiago, Dango Ouattara, Kristoffer Ajer and Keane Lewis-Potter.

Anthony or Ouattara: Who Starts Right Now?
This is becoming a pretty interesting selection call.
Jaidon Anthony and Dango Ouattara have started the same number of league games, although Anthony has actually played more minutes overall.

Team News vs Nottingham Forest
Andrews goes with Sangaré and Janelt in midfield, while Schade, Thiago and Ouattara start together in attack.
Starting XI: Kelleher, Kayode, Ajer, Van den Berg, Lewis-Potter, Janelt, Sangaré, Jensen (C), Ouattara, Thiago, Schade.

Brentford Team Confirmed vs Sunderland
Plenty of changes for the Carabao Cup tonight.
Starting XI: Valdimarsson, Kayode, Schuster, Collins (C), Diouf, Sangaré, Janelt, Damsgaard, Anthony, Thiago, Wilson.

Who Would You Start Tonight?
This feels like quite an interesting team selection.
Brentford have Forest coming up on Saturday, but a place in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals is on the line tonight and Keith Andrews has made it clear the competition is being taken seriously.

Confirmed Brentford Team vs Hull
The Bees are unchanged at the back, with Hickey and Sangaré coming into midfield and Schade starting in attack.
XI: Kelleher, Kayode, Van den Berg, Ajer, Lewis-Potter, Hickey, Sangaré, Jensen (C), Ouattara, Schade, Thiago.

Who Would You Turn to From the Bench in Midfield?
Sangaré, Jensen and Damsgaard looks like the likely Brentford midfield against Hull, but Janelt and Yarmolyuk being suspended leaves the bench looking much thinner in that area.
The full 90 for each of them may be a tall ask, so Keith Andrews may need to get creative later in the game.

Who Should Start at Centre-Back Against Hull?
After yesterday's injury update, Keith Andrews suddenly has plenty of options at the back.
Kristoffer Ajer has started every league game, Nathan Collins is available again, Jannik Schuster is back after missing Liverpool and Sepp van den Berg has now returned to action too.

Ajer Probably Isn't the First Player You'd Guess When Asked About Puskás Award Contenders
Kristoffer Ajer produced something special for Norway against Portugal.
The Brentford defender brought Martin Ødegaard’s free kick down on his chest before volleying into the top corner from the edge of the box.

Two Senior Brentford players in International Action Today
Two Brentford first-team players were in international action today, with Michael Kayode and Jannik Schuster both getting more minutes for their countries.
- Michael Kayode started at right-back as Italy earned a 1-1 draw away to France.
- Jannik Schuster started for Austria U21s in their 1-1 draw with Denmark U21s.
