Liam Feeney has a free-kick from a good 25 yards out. 

He gets it over the wall but it is never testing David Button as it drifts high and wide. It remains just 11 goals in 17 Championship games for Bolton right now...

Next on the famous faces watching this game is the former Manchester United captain Roy Keane.

He looks like his is trying to keep a low profile wearing a black flat cap. Alan McCormack and Alan Judge are the two with Irish connections that I can spot, with Keane possibly looking in his role as Republic of Ireland assistant.

Not much happening on the pitch right now.

New Brentford head coach Dean Smith is wrapped up in at the Macron Stadium and has been all smiles when the television cameras have managed to catch him, especially when John Swift curled home.

The Bees have certainly looked the more dangerous of the two sides going forward so far.

Another half opening for Bolton.

A long clearance by Ben Amos is well won in the air by Max Clayton and Liam Feeney races through. He attempts a lob over David Button with the side of his boot, but unlike the famous Faustino Asprilla lob, Feene's effort goes straight to the goalkeeper.

Another chance for Bolton as Jose Casado blasts a shot with his left foot from out wide that nearly catches David Button out.

Excellent pressure from the hosts after Brentford's early goal.

Nearly a perfect response from Bolton.

After another Brentford counter attack which looked dangerous, Wanderers work it upfield and Shola Ameobi cuts in from the left and rasps a shot towards goal that David Button touches over for a corner.

For all Bolton's troubles this season, it is worth remembering that Birmingham are the only team to beat them at the Macron this term. 

Six draws in front of their own fans hasn't helped, though.

The first time Brentford do get into the box it is a half chance. 

A curled in corner from the right by Alan McCormack finds the head of Jack O'Connell but he is only able to direct his header into the side netting.

Oh dear Ben Amos.

The Bolton goalkeeper receives a backpass and under no pressure somehow horribly slices the ball out. Approaching the first five minutes and Brentford are yet to get anywhere near the Wanderers box.

A bright start from Bolton this and it's given something for the home fans to shout about. 

Liam Feeney stabs up a cross from the right and Darren Pratley attacks it at the back post but it's easily gathered by David Button.

Just what Neil Lennon will have wanted to see.

A lazy backpass from Brentford defender James Tarkowski and his goalkeeper David Button had to be on his toes to prevent Max Clayton from getting his foot to the ball.

Here we go at the Macron Stadium. Brentford get us going in front of a sparse looking crowd, plenty of blue and red seats on show.

Bolton captain Darren Pratley and Brentford skipper Jake Bidwell are in the tunnel about to lead their teams onto the pitch.

One or two pre-match handshakes and we will be under way.

With over 100 goals during his five-year spell at Bolton, John McGinlay is still fondly remembered by fans.

This is his take on the financial issues at the club which he says should not be affecting the players.

If you take a look at Northampton's recent plight, their results did not seem to be affected by their off-field money problems.

Having won five of their last seven games going into tonight you imagine Brentford will be in confident mood of making it six in eight.

The Bees also have a very decent league record against Bolton to go at.

A quick look at the Championship table will tell you even if Neil Lennon's side do pick up a second win of the season, they will still wake up tomorrow morning bottom of the table as they are four points adrift of 23rd-placed Rotherham.

Brentford, meanwhile, could move to within a point of the play-off places if they heap more misery on Bolton by taking three points. Lee Carsley, I'm sure, will be pretty pleased with his efforts as temporary manager when he hands over the reins to Dean Smith as they were in 19th when he took charge.

So back to focusing on tonight.

Bolton may be having financial troubles off the pitch but on it things are not going much better.

Their only win this season was against Wolves at the start of September and that run sees them sit five points from safety at the bottom of the pile.

Bolton's injured winger Wellington Silva and Brentford's suspended centre-back won't be able to effect anything on the pitch tonight, but both have sent messages of support to their team-mates.
