Brentford manager Keith Andrews has confirmed he plans to rotate his squad for tonight's Carabao Cup third-round clash against Aston Villa at the Gtech Community Stadium. The Bees are riding high after a 2-0 victory over Bournemouth in the previous round, and Andrews is confident in the depth of his squad to secure another win.
“[Mikkel] Damsgaard is on the mend. Apart from that, it’s as we were,” Andrews stated, hinting at minimal changes due to injury. He emphasized the fierce competition for places within the team, saying, “It’s difficult to pick the team sometimes; certain positions are very, very close in terms of who gets the nod.”
Andrews made it clear that Brentford are taking the Carabao Cup seriously. “It’s a competition we take very seriously, it’s as simple as that. We want to go through, and we’ll pick a team that we believe can beat Villa.”
With a Premier League match against Fulham looming, Andrews also highlighted the importance of players seizing their opportunity tonight. He believes consistent performance in training and during matches earns players trust and rewards them with further opportunities.
“Nothing is decided for the game against Fulham,” he said. “I’m a firm believer that you earn the credit in the bank as a player with your performances… Tomorrow is a really good opportunity.”
