Watch the game live on BT Sport 2 at 7:45pm to see who comes out on top and adds their name into the hat for a fifth-round tie. But before it kicks off, you’ll find all the odds and info you need here…

Head-to-head

Barnet haven’t faced Brentford in a competitive game since December 2011, where Barnet picked up a 5-3 shoot-out win after a 0-0 draw in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy clash.

The home team have had a longer route this stage of the cup, coming through a fourth qualifying round tie against Braintree Town before getting to the First Round proper.

Barnet then played out a 1-1 draw at home against Bristol Rovers, before beating Rovers 2-1 in the replay in Bristol. A 1-0 home win against Stockport County in the Second Round saw them through, before one of the ‘giant killings’ of the Third Round saw them win 1-0 away from home against Championship high-fliers Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.

Brentford entered the competition in the last round, where a narrow 1-0 home win against League One opposition in Oxford United saw them set up this Fourth Round clash at the Hive Stadium.

Likely XIs

Both teams will be looking for a decent cup run to boost their season, with mid-table safety looking likely for both of these sides.

Barnet will be without first-choice keeper Mark Cousins after an early red-card against Braintree Town in their last match, so back-up keeper Rihards Matrevics will be looking to make an impression between the sticks.
