Thomas Frank with this Newcastle United warning for Brentford… ‘We will face a team that will come flying out for a late kick-off under the floodlights. They will take no prisoners and they will go after us…’

However, the Brentford boss insists that he and his players will be ready for this threat.

Thomas Frank speaking ahead of playing Newcastle United on Wednesday night – 17 December 2024:

“We’re taking this competition seriously and really want to progress to the semi-final.

“It’s a massive game.

“It’s one game, it’s a quarter-final with everything at stake. We have massive belief that we can go there and win, but it will be incredibly difficult.

“I’m very aware that they haven’t won anything in… I don’t know how long. I think they’ve got the team to win something.

“On paper, Newcastle are the favourites, they’re a massive club and are at home – but we fancy ourselves.

“This game will be completely different [to the 4-2 recent win].

“Every game is a new story.

“We will face a team that will come flying out for a late kick-off under the floodlights. They will take no prisoners and they will go after us – but we are ready.

“They have top players and are well-coached. I’m pretty sure we’ll know what they’ll come with, and I’m also pretty sure Eddie and his team will know what we’ll come with.

“We know we need to defend well: that’s not just with a low block but also in the middle with duels and with high pressure.
