David Raya - Concedes one in win Raya conceded one goal and made five saves during Saturday's 2-1 win over Manchester City.

Impact Raya heads into the World Cup in good confidence after going undefeated in his final three games (two draws, one win). Though he will be a backup for Unai Simon in Qatar, Raya continues to climb in reputation by playing well for a more modest club.

Ben Mee - Makes three blocks in win Mee made three blocks and completed four clearances during Saturday's 2-1 win over Manchester City.

Impact Mee closes out another strong phase of the season with two goals and four clean sheets in 14 starts. While it will take more scoring from his teammates to see results improve, Mee will be key to defensive reliability in 2023.

Rico Henry - Creates one chance in win Henry created one chance from three crosses (one accurate) and logged six clearances during Saturday's 2-1 win over Manchester City.

Impact Henry didn't put up huge numbers but played an integral role in limiting what Bernardo Silva could do on the wing. In 15 starts, Henry has recorded one assist on 36 crosses and kept three clean sheets. If he and the Bees can record more wins than draws, than Henry might be a little more productive in 2023.

Pelenda Da Silva - Logs late assist Dasilva logged one assist from two chances created in three minutes off the bench during Saturday's 2-1 win over Manchester City.

Impact Dasilva helped secure an impressive road win, reportedly his club's first in the city of Manchester since the 1930's. With two goals and one assist in 15 appearances (seven starts), Dasilva hasn't been able to secure a regular role in the lineup as a Premier League player but shows decent activity on occasion.

Ivan Toney - Scores twice in win Toney scored two goals from six shots (all on target) during Saturday's 2-1 win over Manchester City.

Impact Toney certainly made an impression after getting snubbed from England's World Cup roster, scoring his ninth and tenth goals through 14 games. While that appointment wasn't necessarily in his control, Toney can still use the motivation to keep up the pace in 2023.

Vitaly Janelt - Starting versus Manchester City Janelt is in the XI to face Manchester City Saturday.

Impact Janelt sat out a midweek cup game but won't miss time in Premier League and record his sixth straight start. He has logged one chance created, two inaccurate crosses, seven tackles (four won), and six interceptions in the last five matches.

Vitaly Janelt - Available against City Janelt (strain) is expected to be available for selection in Saturday's clash against Manchester City, manager Thomas Frank confirmed Thursday.

Impact Janelt missed Tuesday's Carabao Cup defeat against Gillingham with a minor muscle injury, but he has recovered and is expected to return to the squad on Saturday. He has started nine of Brentford's last 10 Premier League matches in midfield dating back to late August, but Christian Norgaard, Frank Onyeka and Mikkel Damsgaard are options to replace him if he's not quite fit enough to make the XI.

Ivan Toney - Eligible in upcoming matches Toney will start Tuesday's Cup match in addition to Saturday's trip to Manchester City following his one-match suspension.

Impact Toney should be rested after serving a suspension and Thomas Frank already said he'll play a top squad Tuesday, featuring Toney and others. Toney has had a nice first half to the season with eight goals and two assists, but it'll be hard for him to add to that total in the final league match before the break, a trip to Man City.

David Raya - Five saves for draw Raya made five saves and three clearances in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Raya seemed set for a comfortable win heading into stoppage time before a Zanka own goal cost him the three points. Raya had an excellent showing, as he continues his red-hot run of form. Across his last five matches Raya has made 27 saves and conceded just seven goals while keeping two clean sheets. Raya will be tested in the final match before the World Cup break, a trip to Manchester City.

Zanka - Crucial late own goal Zanka scored and own goal and made one clearance in Saturday's 2-2 draw to Nottingham Forest.

Impact Zanka came on to see the match out with nine minutes to play and did just the opposite. The defender put past David Raya deep in stoppage time for what ended up being the equalizer. Zanka has seen an extremely limited rotational role and this performance will do nothing to change that.

NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Mathias Jensen - Assists Saturday Jensen assisted once to go with six crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-2 draw to Nottingham Forest.

Impact Jensen provided one assist, his third in 14 starts, despite just creating a single chance. The midfielder retained his role on set-pieces and also added some defensive volume during the draw. Jensen has been a crucial part of everything in midfield throughout his 14 starts and is showing no signs of his role slowing down.
