Brentford boss Thomas Frank recognises they're in a relegation battle.

The Bees host go to Arsenal on Saturday.

Frank said: "We have been privileged over the last season with results, it will be up there. It is a hard season, every Premier League season is hard but with injuries and setbacks, to be able to do that, will be a fantastic result which I am convinced we can do."

On Ivan Toney facing the Gunners, he added: "It's definitely something that I don't speak with Ivan before games. The reason I speak to him is when I haven't been pleased with performance in previous game or when we need his best for the next game.

"I know Ivan very well and his mind is on one thing - to perform."
