Brentford defender Alan McCormack will miss today's clash with Championship leaders Derby County after failing a fitness test ahead of kickoff.

Spaniard Jon Toral has been introduced to the midfield after coming off the bench to score against Bolton Wanderers, but the Bees are also without the injured Sam Saunders and Scott Hogan.

Derby have made just one change from the side that put five past Fulham at Craven Cottage, with goalkeeper Jack Butland reclaiming his place between the sticks after being cup-tied against the Whites.

John Eustace, who was rested for the Capital One Cup tie, has been handed a place on the Rams' bench.

Brentford: Button, Bidwell, Craig, Dean, Douglas, Odubajo, Toral, Judge, Gray, Diagouraga, Jota

Derby: Butland, Christie, Keogh, Buxton, Forsyth, Mascarell, Bryson, Hendrick, Dawkins, Russell, Martin
