The Match

Preview

Sports Mole previews Saturday's FA Cup clash between Port Vale and Brentford, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

We said: Port Vale 0-2 Brentford

 After nearly a month without competitive football, Port Vale players and supporters will be desperate to get back into action and they will be fired up for their challenging encounter against Premier League opposition. However, the loss of attacking trio Wilson, Proctor and Rodney is a blow for Vale, and although Clarke's men are sure to put up a fight, we expect the hosts to be stung by the Bees on home soil.
