Schade has scored three goals in the first six league matches of the season, but was forced off in last weekend’s 2-2 draw against Aston Villa due to a shoulder injury. Teammate Jannik Schuster also sustained an injury in the draw at Villa Park, but Andrews is hopeful that both will be able to feature in the matchday squad for the visit of Andoni Iraola’s side. ‘Jannik (Schuster) and Kev (Schade) have been on the grass this week and we’ll see what tomorrow brings in terms of how much they can do,’ Andrews said in his pre-match press conference. ‘They are different types of injuries.

Brentford are one of three sides that are yet to lose this season, leaving Andrews and his squad full of confidence heading into another big test against Liverpool. ‘It’s not in an overconfident way saying we should be able to play Liverpool with a belief we will win the game,’ he said. ‘We’ll have to do a lot of things really well and stop them playing but we’ve shown we can compete against the best teams in the country.’ Iraola’s side, meanwhile, lost their first league game of the season against Manchester City last weekend and could still be without key trio Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexander Isak, and Cody Gakpo for the trip to west London.
