Brentford head coach Keith Andrews says is "looking forward" to the set-piece battle with Arsenal on Thursday night (8pm kick-off, live on TNT Sports).

Arsenal have scored 15 goals from set-pieces - the best in the Premier League this season. However, Brentford shipped only two goals from set-pieces last term and have conceded just four this campaign, which is the lowest figure in the division.

"I've got no doubt that [set-pieces] will be a huge part of the game," said Andrews. "We can cause a lot of chaos ourselves from those situations.

"We're all looking forward to seeing how that story unfolds."

The Bees head coach added: "Arsenal are a really good team. They know how to win football matches, regardless of what's thrown at them throughout games.

"I've got ultimate respect for the way that Mikel Arteta sets up his team and the way he goes about his business, the journey that he's brought the team on, and the mentality that he's instilled in the group.

"Set-pieces have been a part of where they've got to... there are some key components as to why they're so good at them: the delivery, they've got some big players, they're well organised, their timing, and they attack the ball with aggression

"But, equally, the individuals that they have, whoever they call upon, are seriously talented.

"They're also excellent out of possession, the way they defend as a unit, whether it's high or when they drop low and defend their box.

"A lot of the players have been together for a few years now and you can see those relationships are now pretty tight.

"They're a very, very well-coached team."

Asked to assess how his own team have been performing from dead balls this term, he responded: "You'd always want to score more! That's the nature of the way we play the game.

"Stephen [Rice] has come in as set-piece coach, and we're constantly working on that part of our game: the relationships, the routines, the leaders within that, and the different voices that come into that.

"We're constantly looking to strive in that department; it's a huge part of what we do."
