Brentford look set to be without defender Mark Phillips for the FA Cup trek to non-league Gateshead.

Phillips limped off at half-time during last weekend's 3-0 defeat by Exeter with an ankle injury and is a major doubt.

But fellow centre-half Alan Bennett is in line to return from his ankle problem and could come back in alongside loanee James Wilson, who has been given permission to play by Bristol City.

On-loan Derby goalkeeper Lewis Price is likely to keep his place with Nikki Bull still struggling with a shoulder injury.

Striker Ben Strevens is pushing to be involved having recovered from the broken leg he suffered in the summer and could be on the bench for the first time.
