Brentford boss Dean Smith has given debuts to all four of his summer signings for the visit to Huddersfield.

Dan Bentley starts in goals, John Egan partners captain Harlee Dean in defence, Leicester loanee Callum Elder is at left-back and Romaine Sawyers is part of the four-man attack.

Maxime Colin is ruled out with a calf injury, so Josh Clarke steps in at full-back, while Lewis Macleod makes his first league start for the Bees, more than 18 months after signing for the club.

Huddersfield are without last season’s top scorer Nahki Wells (knee), as well as Philip Billing (ankle) and Harry Bunn (hamstring).

They have six debutants in their starting line-up, with Chelsea loanee Kasey Palmer among the substitutes.

Huddersfield: Ward; Lowe, Hudson, Schindler, Smith; Mooy, Hogg; Van La Parra, Payne, Lolley; Kachunga.
Subs: Coleman, Cranie, Paurevic, Hefele, Stankovic, Palmer, Scannell.

Brentford: Bentley; Clarke, Egan, Dean, Elder; McEachran, Woods; Sawyers, Kerschbaumer, Macleod; Hogan.
Subs from: Bonham, Yennaris, Field, Holldack, McCormack, Saunders, Hofmann.
