Lingard a doubt for Bees encounter

The England international came off the bench in the closing stages of our two most recent games, both against Aston Villa - the 1-0 victory in the Emirates FA Cup third-round tie at Old Trafford and Saturday's 2-2 draw at Villa Park.

With the Reds chasing three important points in a first league meeting with the Bees since the 1946/47 season, interim manager Ralf Rangnick will hope to take a strong squad to the capital.

Rangnick has revealed in an interview with club media's Stewart Gardner, to be published in full on Wednesday morning, that Lingard has picked up an ankle injury that might force him out of the reckoning.
