Adam Smith, Enes Unal, Marcos Senesi and Julian Araujo all look set to miss the Brentford game through injury but Illia Zabarnyi returns following a brief suspension.

Brentford preview: Undone at home by the Villans
Brentford might have had the home advantage against Aston Villa last weekend but the Bees failed to make it count.
In the end, a solitary second-half strike from former Brentford star Ollie Watkins proved enough for the visitors to secure all three points.
Fabio Carvalho, Joshua Dasilva, Aaron Hickey, Rico Henry and Igor Thiago are expected to miss the trip to Bournemouth this weekend due to injury.
Predicted lineup: Flekken (GK), Ajer, Pinnock, Collins, Norgaard, Wissa, Janelt, Mbeumo, Damsgaard, Schade & Lewis-Potter

Player to watch: Justin Kluivert
Bournemouth forward Justin Kluivert is having his best season in front of goal since his big breakthrough season with Ajax back in 2017/18.
The Cherries star scored 12 times in 27 Premier League appearances and became a south coast club's penalty specialist.
The Dutch international is enjoying his best goalscoring campaign
The Dutchman has scored six goals in his last ten appearances across all competitions, and you wouldn't bet against the 25-year-old who scored against Brentford on Saturday.
