Sepp van den Berg has picked up a “minor knee injury”, however, it is “as positive as it can be” as they are expecting him to be out for “weeks instead of months”.

Having waited nine Premier League away games for their first win on the road, the Bees boss discussed the chance to win four in succession: “In general, our away performances have been quite good. It has been about consistently trying to put those together. We were getting closer and closer [to the first away win] – a draw against Everton and a draw against Brighton – and then we got three very good wins in a row. Especially Crystal Palace and West Ham, where we were winning by one goal, which is just one bad decision away from losing that lead.”

He added: “The team is growing even more this season. For the past however many games, we have been able to name the same team, maybe changing one player – Ethan [Pinnock] will come in for Sepp [van den Berg] on Friday, for example – but that consistency has really helped. We are also always looking to see how we can add layers and become even better.”

On the possibility of European qualification: “We want to push and if we can achieve that it would be a fantastic dream and amazing. It’s about focusing on Leicester to do what we can can and win under the floodlights in a game they have to win. Let’s get three points and maybe down the line we can dream. A big target for us is we haven’t won two games in a row, so if we want to dream about Euro places, we need more consistency.”

Frank said he “can’t look too far ahead” as one injury could derail their progress, but he is “excited about the way we look going forwards” and for the rest of the season he wants the side to “dominate as much as possible and win more matches”.

On Leicester: “It’s going to be tricky and a very difficult game because they will come flying out. It will mean a lot for them if they can win and get out of the relegation zone, even just for one day.”

Frank added: “We respect them massively. They have a lot of good players and a good coach, but, on the flip side, we need to focus on us. What we have done well, trust our own processes and structure, and make sure we come with the right mentality and attitude.”
