Nuno Espírito Santo’s side enter the new campaign under a cloud of concern after a winless pre season, drawing five of their seven friendlies and scoring just once.
The loss of Anthony Elanga to Newcastle has further weakened an already misfiring attack.
Brentford begin their fifth straight season in the Premier League with major changes.
