Andrews admits Brentford have done 'a little bit more' prep for Macclesfield than Arsenal

Brentford manager Keith Andrews has acknowledged that his squad devoted extra attention to preparing for their upcoming encounter with Macclesfield, even when compared to the work done ahead of their meeting with Premier League leaders Arsenal. Speaking in a club video release, Andrews conceded that the League Two side has received “a little bit more” of the Bees’ analytical focus, highlighting the respect being afforded to the lower-division opposition. The admission underlines Brentford’s determination to avoid complacency as they target progression in cup competition, despite the contrasting league statuses of the two clubs.
