Just three days after their trip to Hull, Brentford head to the Stadium of Light for a Carabao Cup fourth-round clash with Sunderland. The two clubs have already met in the Premier League this season, with the fixture providing a competitive encounter, and this cup meeting should have a similarly hard-fought feel. With a place in the quarter-finals at stake, Keith Andrews may be tempted to shuffle his pack after a demanding run of league fixtures, giving some of Brentford's squad players an opportunity to make their mark. For the Bees, the challenge will be maintaining their cup momentum without allowing a packed October schedule to catch up with them.
