Ones to watch
Ivan Toney - Brentford
Since signing from Peterborough United for a reported £10 million, Toney has made his mark on the division. Despite having a mini seven-game goal drought, the 24-year-old striker grabbed a double at the weekend taking his tally to 18 league goals in his first 25 appearances. The Newcastle United academy product has shown great maturity levels and composure in front of goal and proved to be worth every penny. If he keeps up his goalscoring record, it won't be long before he follows in ex Brentford striker Ollie Watkins footsteps and secure a big-money move to the Premier League.
Nakhi Wells - Bristol City
The Bermuda international has enjoyed a good start to life in Bristol. He has formed a good partnership with fellow striker Famara Diedhiou with the pair grabbing 13 league goals between them. Wells has always been known for his speed and agility in the final third. This year has been no different. One disappointment the former Burnley man will have, is that he he has not grabbed more goals. He has a respectable tally of five league goals but will have hoped for more. The striker will be hoping to add to his tally against Bristol City on Wednesday.
Previous meetings
The two sides last met back in January 2020, with Brentford running out 4-0 winners at Ashton Gate thanks to goals from Mbuemo, Said Benrahma and Watkins. Over the last five meetings, both sides have won just the once and there have been three draws. The last meeting at home for Brentford ended in a 1-1 draw at Griffin Park.
