Neal Maupay starts for Brentford against Burton as Dean Smith keeps the faith in the French striker.

The former St Etienne missed a sitter against Cardiff on Saturday but Smith, in keeping to his normal policy when it comes to players under fire, opted to start the Frenchman against the Brewers.

He did the same with Romaine Sawyers last season after the midfielder was booed off against Barnsley. He then became a hero with a goal against QPR.

In fact, Smith kept the faith with the entire starting XI from the visit to the Welsh capital.

Brentford: Bentley, Clarke, Egan, Bjelland, Barbet, Woods, Sawyers, Yennaris, Jozefzoon, Maupay, Watkins.

Substitutes: Daniels, McEachran, Mokotjo, Vibe, Chatzitheodoridis, Mepham, Canos.

Burton: Bywater, McFadzean, Turner, Murphy, Lund, Scannell, Akins, Flanagan, Naylor, Sordell, Palmer.

Substitutes: Ripley, Warnock, Allen, Varney, Miller, Akpan, Buxton.
