Preamble
When any facet, doesn’t matter which, meets Brentford, they know one factor for positive: regardless of the end result, taking part in them goes to harm. Thomas Frank’s facet are aggressive, attitudinous and organised, so beating them requires main doses of will and talent – whoever the opponent.
All of which ought to make them a great cup facet besides, within the three seasons they’ve been a Premier League outfit, they’ve managed only one quarter-final – within the 2021-22 version of this competitors. In equity to them, Frank has generally fielded weakened sides as a result of their precedence has all the time been survival, however given the poverty of the promoted groups and their comfortable ninth place, they’ll absolutely see tonight as a possibility. They bloody effectively ought to.
Wednesday, in the meantime, lie thirteenth within the Championship having narrowly escaped relegation final season, their enchancment largely right down to Danny Röhl – the youngest supervisor in England earlier than fellow German, Fabian Hürzeler, usurped him. “Superb on the counter and superb at taking part in direct,” mentioned Frank, presumably conscious he may simply as simply be describing his personal males. “They play early in behind, they’ve good runners. They’ve good offensive construction in the whole lot they do. In addition they have nice physicality on their set-pieces”.
They usually have Barry Bannan, one of many final midfield schemers who, if he’s at it, shall be an issue. Which is to say this match could seem like a gimme and possibly that’s how issues’ll pan out. However don’t be shocked if Wednesday make it nasty – each bit as nasty as Brentford make it for everybody else.
Kick-off: 8pm GMT
