Confirmed Brentford team news as Canos and Norgaard replace Thompson and Baptiste

Brentford have made two changes for today's Premier League clash against Aston Villa.

In defence, Sergi Canos comes in to replace Dominic Thompson, who suffered an ankle injury in Wednesday's defeat to Manchester City but still makes the bench.

Christian Norgaard comes into central midfield, and replaces Shandon Baptiste. The Dane missed Wednesday night through suspension, but returns to the starting XI.

Bryan Mbeumo hasn't been able to recover from a calf issue sustained in last Sunday's defeat against Brighton and Hove Albion, with Yoane Wissa lining up alongside Ivan Toney for a second successive game.

Another boost for the Bees is that Kristoffer Ajer returns to the matchday squad, having suffered a hamstring injury back in October.

Brentford XI : Fernandez; Pinnock, Jansson, Mads Bech; Roerslev, Onyeka, Norgaard, Jensen, Canos; Wissa, Toney.

Subs: Cox, Thompson, Forss, Ghoddos, Ajer, Baptiste, Janelt, Bidstrup, Stevens.
