Burnley, nicknamed the "Caucasians," will travel to face Brentford, nicknamed the "Bees," in the 13th round of the 2025/26 Premier League season. Manager Scott Parker stated in a press conference that even when facing adversity, the team must remain calm and bravely confront the challenges.

After losing 0-2 to Chelsea in the last round of the Premier League, newly promoted Burnley are currently 19th in the standings with 10 points, which means that Burnley must achieve better results to stay in the Premier League next season.

Burnley manager Scott Parker said, "Overall, I've seen tremendous progress from the team. At this stage of the season, the standings don't tell the whole story. What I'm really looking at is what I see every day in training and how this young team is improving in every aspect of our journey."

“Of course we need to continue to improve and learn, and we hope to gain more points in this league. After 12 rounds of matches, I am satisfied with most of the team’s performance. We must continue to stick to what we are doing now, and stay focused and calm. When things don’t go well, we must also be willing to face the challenges head-on.”

Scott Parker continued, "In this level of competition, precision is everything. Tiny differences can decide the outcome of a game, and that's where we need to be more focused and sharper. But I like the way this team is, and I like the progress we're making."

In addition, Brentford, managed by Keith Andrews, are currently 13th in the standings with 16 points, having won 3 and lost 2 of their last 5 matches.

Speaking about Brentford, Scott Parker said, "There's no doubt that Brentford is a strong team. Keith Andrews has done a fantastic few months in charge, and it's going to be a tough game for us. They know exactly how to get results, especially at home."

"However, we are well prepared for this game and aim for a good result, and I believe the team has the ability to cause them trouble."
