Brentford have been one of the biggest surprises of the 2019-20 Championship season thus far. Frank Thomas’ men have taken the league by storm and, after 26 matches, he has The Bees sitting in third place of the standings with 43 points.

Pep Guardiola is understood to envisage using Danilo in a variety of roles, including left-back and defensive midfield, meaning he would not merely be cover for Walke…
