Brentford boss Andy Scott will choose from an unchanged squad when his table-topping side travel to Grimsby in League Two

Midfielder Gary Smith, who has yet to figure this season due to a hernia problem, is on the mend but not close to a return to the first team just yet.

Striker Ross Montague is the Bees' only other injury absentee with his ongoing back trouble.

The Bees moved four points clear at the top following Saturday's 1-0 win over Bury and Scott will not make too many changes.

Young defender Karleigh Osborne will push for a start after dropping to the bench on Saturday, with former Reading utility man John Halls stepping into the back four.

Adam Newton is battling with Marvin Williams for the right-wing spot.

Grimsby will be without Dean Sinclair for the clash at Blundell Park.

The on-loan Charlton midfielder limped out of Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Rochdale with a knee injury and Town have confirmed he will not feature against the Bees.

Mariners boss Mike Newell will also be without Chris Llewellyn, who serves the second game of a three-match suspension following his red card against Morecambe.

Fit-again Robbie Stockdale will hope to be handed a place in the squad, but Paul Bolland remains a long-term absentee.

Bolland has recently stepped up his rehabilitation from a cruciate knee ligament injury and is hopeful of returning before the end of the season.

Grimsby currently lie 22nd in the League Two table and are just two points clear of the relegation zone.
