The Midlands side trail Manchester City in fifth place by just two points and the next few weeks could be exciting to say the least.

Indeed, Unai Emery’s side also have an FA Cup quarter-final tie against Preston North End to look forward to this weekend.

Before that, they play the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against Club Brugge. Leading 3-1 from the first leg, Emery might make a change or two.

Despite playing well against Brentford, Jacob Ramsey could be dropped from the starting XI.

The Englishman started on the left wing against the Bees and provided an assist for Ollie Watkins to score the only goal of the game just minutes into the second half.

Additionally, Ramsey also made one key pass, registered two shots in total, completed 87% of his passes and delivered one accurate cross into the opposition penalty area.

A decent showing, one that helped the club secure a vital three points in their chase to finish in one of the Champions League spots for next season.

With games coming thick and fast, Ramsey might find himself dropped to the bench in favour of one of Emery’s winter signings.
