Brentford boss Keith Andrews is keeping his squad focused and ambitious as they prepare to host West Ham at the Gtech Community Stadium this Saturday (15:00 BST). With just four games left in the Premier League season, the Bees are determined to finish strong.

In positive injury news, midfielders Vitaly Janelt and Jordan Henderson are "pretty close" to a return after making "good progress" in training. Andrews confirmed a final decision on their availability will be made closer to kick-off. However, fans will have to wait a little longer for Rico Henry, who is "not as close" and will miss the match.

One heartwarming story is the return of Josh DaSilva, who was included in a matchday squad for the first time since January 2024 during Monday's defeat to Manchester United. "Josh had to work really hard to get back to this point, so it was lovely to have him as part of the squad," Andrews said. "He wouldn't be on the bench if I didn't think he could make an impact of sorts. We still need to look after him really carefully, but he's looking pretty free and has trained really well over the past few weeks."

Reflecting on recent missed chances against Manchester United and the draw with Fulham, Andrews remains calm. "The big thing for me is not creating chances or looking like scoring would be more worrying. There is comfort in the fact we are, but then you obviously want to take that next step. I'm pretty relaxed that we have attacking players who can be and will be absolutely lethal."

With the season winding down, Andrews is demanding high standards from his squad. "We want to maintain the standards that we nailed down. I'm really keen for us to maintain those standards for the last four games, and I've not got much doubt we will do that. Whether that gets us the results we want, you can't guarantee that."

Despite a recent dip in results, the Brentford boss remains upbeat. "If you look at the results in isolation, we can be slightly disappointed. We're pretty ambitious and focused on improving all the time. The performance levels in most of those games, none more so than the other night, I was really happy with."

Looking ahead to the challenge of facing a West Ham side fighting for survival, Andrews acknowledged the threat. "They are in very good form, playing very well and fighting hard. This game is a big test for us, but we're ready."
