Brentford attacker Nico Yennaris has stated that he is looking forward to coming up against former teammate Cesc Fabregas in the FA Cup.

Chelsea host Brentford in the 4th round of the FA Cup on Saturday and the match is certainly one which the fans of the away side will relish.

The occasion will also be special for Yennaris as he will be squaring off against former Arsenal teammate Fabregas on the day.

Yennaris said: “They have got some World Cup winners in there and players who have played at the highest level. Myself and Cesc Fabregas trained together at Arsenal a few times before he left for Barcelona. We all know the qualities that he has and how good a footballer he is.

“It will be a good test for myself. I will try and remember what he used to do in training but you see, week in week out, what he can produce. His passing range and vision is second to none. If you give him time he will pick a pass so I'll have to try and stop that."
