Andrews ready for ‘really difficult’ trip to face City

Keith Andrews says Brentford still have “a lot of work to do” if they are to maintain a late push for Champions League qualification.

With only three matches remaining in the Premier League season, Bees head coach Andrews is refusing to look beyond tomorrow’s daunting trip to face title-chasers Manchester City.

“We’ve got a lot of work to do over the next three games to put ourselves in a position of anything like that,” Andrews said.

“The focus is on tomorrow first and foremost. We’re obviously running out of games and we want to finish the season really well.

“Tomorrow is going to be really difficult but we want to go and show what a good team we are.”

City’s recent 3-3 draw against Everton offered a rare glimpse of vulnerability from the champions, but Andrews remains wary of the tactical flexibility and individual brilliance available to Pep Guardiola.

“They’re an amazing team,” Andrews added.

“The way they play, how they can hurt you, tweaks that Pep makes to the team in trying to unlock the opposition and the level of top-quality players they have among their team.

“You can see the quality of the finishes the other night. If it’s not one player one week, it’s a different player the next week.”
