The Bees are hoping to reach the quarter-finals of the competition for the first time since 1989. Nuno Espírito Santo’s side enter this stage of the championship after beating Burton Albion in the previous round.
Christopher Ajer, Kean Lewis-Potter and Yehor Yarmolyuk were with the team for the match at the London Stadium. Yamolyuk will make his 100th appearance for the club on Monday night.
