MATCH FACTS: CARDIFF VS BRENTFORD

Andre hasn't required much time to settle into the Sky Bet Championship following his summer move from 2013/14 Conference Champions Luton Town, firing in nine goals in the first half of the campaign. Gray bagged 30 league goals in 44 matches last time, and while he may struggle to reach that tally once more, the three-division step up hasn't hindered him at all - a true testament to his goal-scoring ability. While top flight clubs are rumoured to be interested in Gray, Mark Warburton certainly won't be willing to let his talisman forward leave without a battle. A true attacking threat for the Bluebirds defence to look out for.

Brentford returned to winning ways as Andre Gray scored his ninth goal of the season to help defeat Blackburn. The 23-year-old fired across Jason Steele to score between goals from Jonathan Douglas and Jota. Douglas' 15th minute tap-in was cancelled out by Blackburn's Rudy Gestede, whose acrobatic volley found the back of the net via a deflection. But the hosts took all three points as Jota slotted past Steele just after Ben Marshall had rattled a Brentford post.

Brentford: Button, Odubajo, Dean, Craig, Bidwell, Douglas, Peleteiro Ramallo (Dallas), Diagouraga, Pritchard (Smith), Judge, Gray (Proschwitz). Subs Not Used: Saunders, Bonham, Toral, Tarkowski.
