"They can" - Keith Andrews on Leeds United and expectation as Brentford head to Elland Road

Brentford are heading to Elland Road to face Leeds United on Sunday having scored 20 goals in their last four games.

Brentford boss Keith Andrews has fired a Leeds United warning ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash at Elland Road with his expectation of the Whites vs Bees showdown at LS11.

Former Brentford set piece coach Andrews was appointed the club’s new head coach last summer after Thomas Frank’s departure to Tottenham and the Irishman quickly impressed at the helm as he guided the Bees to a ninth-placed finish.

The West London outfit have since impressed again both in their summer friendlies and the start of the season itself, the Bees heading for Sunday’s clash at Elland Road having scored 20 goals in their last four games.

After rounding off their friendlies with a 4-2 win at Rennes and 7-0 hammering of visiting Eintracht Frankfurt, Brentford began the Premier League season with a 3-0 win at home to Tottenham Hotspur which was followed by a 6-1 romp at Birmingham City in the Carabao Cup.

“They can play in different ways and can cause you a lot of problems”

Andrews, though, has now signalled a warning about the capabilities of Sunday’s hosts Leeds and declared his expectation of a “proper game” with a “real edge” in Sunday’s showdown at LS11.

"It’ll be very competitive,” said Andrews as quoted by Brentford’s official website.

“There will be a real edge to the game given the way the two teams play.

“They can play in different ways and can cause you a lot of problems.

“I envisage a proper game of football on Sunday.”

Andrews added: “Nobody is getting carried away, it has been one league game and one cup game, but it is really important that people enjoy when we have good results, especially fans. We can have a smile on our face when we are not training or working.”
