3. L: THOMAS FRANK - (Brentford)
Having missed out on promotion to the Premier League last season, Brentford have lost star man Ollie Watkins and could lose striker Said Benrahma and goalkeeper David Raya. The London club then lost 1-0 to Birmingham City - a bad summer for manager Thomas Frank. Photo: Catherine Ivill

Birmingham head coach Aitor Karanka hailed rookie goalkeeper Zach Jeacock after his heroics helped them beat Brentford - but did hint he could lose his place to new signing Neil Etheridge. He said: “For sure he [Etheridge] will play, but today I didn’t have any doubts that Zach wouldn’t be our keeper. “He is on the pitch like he is on the training ground, and he has a very bright future.
