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 6, winning 2, drawing 4 and losing 0, with 12 scored and 6 conceded. At home they are 2-1-0; away from home 0-3-0.

Home and away they are equally hard to beat so far this season.

Recent form reads D-D-D-W-D (oldest first), meaning they have come through 100% of their last 5 matches without losing.
