Sam Saunders previews London Senior Cup quarter-final against Welling United | OneFootball

Brentford B assistant coach Sam Saunders has looked ahead to the London Senior Cup quarter-final tie away at Welling United on Tuesday evening (7.45pm kick-off BST).

The young Bees travel to J Hearnden Skip Hire Community Stadium hoping to make the last four of another competition this season.

It's also an important opportunity for the west Londoners to rotate their squad during an intense schedule, having beaten Burnley U21s 2-1 on Friday afternoon.

"We know Welling will be a tough opponent, the basics of football need to be the priority to give us a platform to build on and play our game," said Saunders.

Brentford B have won six out of their last seven competitive fixtures, and are already in the semi-final of the Premier League Cup.

"The boys are on a really good run of form so hopefully we can keep that going tomorrow evening.“

Saunders last took charge of the B team when they hosted Bristol City at Gtech Community Stadium, coming out as victors in a 4-3 thriller.

The young Bees progressed to the quarter-finals with a 5-1 away victory over Athletic Newham.
