Brentford are hoping to secure automatic promotion to the Premier League as they welcome Barnsley to Griffin Park tonight for what could be the final game at the stadium.
The Bees missed the chance to go second in the Championship when they lost 1-0 at Stoke on Saturday, but can still go above West Brom on the final day if they better the Baggies' result, with Slaven Bilic's side facing QPR.
If they are successful, the game against relegation-threatened Barnsley will be the last at their home of 116 years, before they move to a new home at Lionel Road for next season, though if they fail to climb into the top two the stadium will still have one more game to host, a playoff semi-final second leg.
Date, time and venue
Brentford vs Barnsley is scheduled for a 19:30pm BST kick-off tonight.
The match will be behind closed doors at Griffin Park with no fans due to be present due to government guidelines regarding coronavirus.
Team news
Thomas Frank has a full squad to choose from, with Shandon Baptiste and Sergi Canos both having made their returns from injury in the defeat at Stoke.
Prediction: Brentford 2-0 Barnsley
The Bees should have too much for their visitors, but whether that is enough to clinch promotion will depend on QPR pulling off a shock at the Hawthorns.
