Championship action resumes as Boro start the build-up to Christmas with a trip to Griffin Park.
Tony Pulis's side are looking to build on their impressive form before the international break and the 2-0 win over Wigan at the Riverside.
Pulis has no fresh injury concerns but the game will come too soon for Ryan Shotton, who could be available for next week's home clash with Aston Villa.
The Bees have slipped down the Championship table after a run of just one win in 11 games and recently appointed boss Thomas Frank is well aware of how difficult it will be to break down Pulis's stern defence.
The spoils were shared last time the sides met at Griffin Park.
