Beesotted contributors The Gowler and Paul Kowalczyk (@BeesBreakdown) give us the tactical and statistical lowdown of Brentford?s win against Burnley.
Thomas Frank?s 4-3-3 looked a little different with Janelt starting at left back. Brentford?s long injury list, and a suspension to Hickey, left Thomas Frank without many options. Neal Maupay got his first start since his return, joining Mbeumo and Wissa up top. Frank Onyeka slid into the midfield alongside Nørgaard and Jensen. Ajer seems to be solidifying his spot at right back, as long as he can stay fit. Ben Mee was listed as a substitute as he worked his way back from injury.
Vincent Kompany?s Burnely side came out in a 4-2-3-1, with a few changes from their last match. Brownhill, Delcroix, and Vitinho were dropped with Amdouni, O?Shea, and Roberts replacing them. Burnley have previously relied on Brownhill to control their midfield, so dropping him to the bench was a surprise. Koleosho, also left on the bench, looked to make an impact as a substitute. 2nd Minute
