Former Morecambe midfielder Ryan Williams is set to make his competitive debut for Brentford when they face Oxford United tonight.

The 24-year-old, who joined the Bees after being released by the League Two outfit earlier this summer, is expected to feature in the match alongside development squad youngsters Courtney Senior, Josh Laurent, Josh Clarke, and Jermaine Udumaga.

Record signing Andreas Bjelland is also expected to make his competitive debut for the club after spending Saturday's 2-2 draw with Ipswich Town on the bench.

Fellow Danish international Lasse Vibe is also involved in a much changed squad that Djikhuizen admits is designed to give young players experience at a good level and older hands the opportunity to get some game time.
