Brentford head coach Keith Andrews has given an update on the state of his squad ahead of the trip to face Arsenal on Wednesday (7.30pm kick-off GMT), live on Sky Sports.

The Bees boss also described the clash with the Gunners as a "difficult task", with Mikel Arteta's side currently top of the Premier League heading into the game at Emirates Stadium, and discussed the battle between two of the division's best set-piece sides.

"We've got a couple of knocks and bruises," Andrews revealed. "But you get that from a game like the one we had at the weekend.

"We've got a couple of bits and bobs that we'll have to decide on but, in the main, we're in a good place."

On Arsenal, he added: “It’s pretty obvious that it’s going to be a difficult task, but it’s also a task that we need to embrace.

“They’re a tough nut to crack, for sure. They don’t concede too many and don’t concede too many opportunities, but we’re a team that quite fancies ourselves in how we can affect the opposition and make it quite uncomfortable for them at times. That’s what we’ll be hoping to do on Wednesday night.

“I’ve watched them a lot since the Burnley game. They’re a very good team with outstanding individuals, and the way they are set up without the ball.

Discussing taking on a team that also boasts a strong set-piece record, Andrews continued: “There will always be a lot made of that: the set-piece battle, with two teams who are invariably pretty good at that aspect of the game.

“In most games, set-pieces play a part to different levels. I think this will be a game where it plays a very big part, and we hope we can come out on the right side of it.”
