Brentford head coach Thomas Frank has revealed that he will name a "very strong" line-up for the Bees' Carabao Cup clash with Sheffield Wednesday.

Frank has previously insisted that he wants to win this tournament - and, ahead of this week's tie, he reiterated how much respect he will show the competition, as well as Tuesday's opponents.

“The team news: everyone is available from the Ipswich game," Frank stated.

“The approach we'll take for this game is that we will go very strong and we will take this very seriously - I have said that from the beginning of the tournament.

“I don’t know if you’ll be surprised, but maybe you will when you see the line-up we put out there tomorrow. It will be a very strong team.

“We’ve got big respect for the competition, we’ve got big respect for Sheffield Wednesday.

You can watch the Bees in action under the lights on Tuesday against Sheffield Wednesday - secure one of the few remaining tickets now.

“Danny Röhl has done a top job there - he actually came to see us around 18 months ago, when he was assistant manager of the German national team, and we had a good talk about football.

“What he did in terms of saving them last year and turning it around was more than impressive. And they’ve had a decent start to this season.

“Sheffield Wednesday is a massive club - they’re now building, they’re a well-structured team, they know what they want to do.

“I expect a difficult game. From our Championship days, one of my favourite players then was [Barry] Bannan, I think he’s a top player and we’ll need to close him down.

“He’s a top player. His left foot is remarkable and he can dictate any game. If we are not closing him down or not aware of him, he can cause us problems.”

He added: "[Sheffield Wednesday] are very good on the counter and very good at playing direct, they play early in behind, they have good runners. They have good offensive structure in everything they do.

"They also have great physicality on their set-pieces too, which is something we need to be aware of."
