The manager and the style of play

Keith Andrews, manager of Brentford FC

Manager

Keith Andrews

In charge since June 2025

Andrews has made the Bees more structurally rigid: solid out of possession, efficient on the counter, and still one of the most dangerous dead-ball teams in the division.

A mid-table finish last season was followed by heavy summer spending as the club pushes for a top-seven place.

Are Brentford FC a safe survivor pick?

Across the last 3 Premier League seasons — 2025/26 (9th), 2024/25 (10th), 2023/24 (16th) — Brentford FC avoided defeat in 60% of their league games. That is the baseline a survivor player should start from before looking at this week's fixture.

This season they have played 9, winning 3, drawing 5 and losing 1, with 16 scored and 9 conceded. At home they are 3-1-1; away from home 0-4-0.

Unusually, they have travelled better — unbeaten in 100% away versus 80% at home — so don't discount them on the road.

Recent form reads W-D-L-D-W (oldest first), meaning they have come through 80% of their last 5 matches without losing.
