After drawing with Arsenal, Brentford are 7th in the Premier League standings. It is worth mentioning that they lost manager Frank and key players Mbeumo, Wissa, and Norgaard last summer.
In the summer of 2025, Brentford suffered a significant player exodus. Successful manager Thomas Frank joined Tottenham Hotspur, while attacking duo Mbeumo and Wissa made high-profile transfers to Manchester United and Newcastle United respectively. Captain and midfield anchor Norgaard joined Arsenal.
Brentford opted to promote set-piece coach Keith Andrews from within the club to take the helm. This new manager, known for his tactical attention to detail and set-piece design, quickly integrated the squad and reshaped the tactics.
After a 1-1 draw against league leaders Arsenal, Brentford sits 7th in the Premier League, just 5 points away from the Champions League qualification zone, demonstrating strong competitiveness.
