Brentford could again be without goalkeeper Daniel Bentley for their Championship match against play-off chasing Derby.
Bentley has missed the last four matches with a shoulder problem, so Luke Daniels is likely to deputise again. Defender Rico Henry should be available again after playing for the B team in midweek, having recovered from a foot problem.
Yoann Barbet missed the 3-0 defeat at Swansea on Tuesday night with an ankle problem and is set to be out for a few weeks, while midfielder Lewis Macleod (hamstring) continues his rehabilitation.
Derby boss Frank Lampard reported no fresh injury problems following last weekend's 6-1 thrashing of Rotherham. On-loan Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount made a welcome return from two months out with a hamstring injury, scoring the fourth goal, and should feature again.
Forward Mason Bennett is pressing for a recall along with midfielder Craig Bryson following their recovery from injury. Midfielder Andy King (ankle), Curtis Davies (Achilles), Marcus Olsson and Craig Forsyth (both knee) all continue their rehabilitation.
Brentford have won only one of their last eight league matches against Derby (W1 D3 L4), a 4-0 win in April 2017.
Derby have picked up one win in their last eight league visits to Griffin Park against Brentford (W1 D4 L3), winning 3-1 in February 2016.
Brentford have failed to score in any of their last four Championship matches, failing to score with 61 shots in those matches.
Including play-offs, Derby are winless in nine league visits to London (W0 D6 L3) since a 1-0 win at QPR in December 2016.
Brentford attempted just six shots in their 0-3 defeat at Swansea City, their fewest in a league match (excluding play-offs) since having six against Middlesbrough in September 2014.
Derby's Martyn Waghorn scored a hat-trick against Rotherham in their previous game, scoring with all three shots - he had scored with three of his previous 25 efforts at goal in the Championship.
David Prutton predicts: 1-2 (11/1 with Sky Bet)
