Leeds United travel to Brentford on Saturday and we take a look at the predicted line-ups, the latest injury news and all you need to know about our clash with The Bees.
The Whites travel to the Brentford Community Stadium whilst currently sitting in 7th place in the Premier League table, their hosts in 11th. The sides are separated by only 2 points with Leeds winning 2, drawing 2 and losing 1. Brentford have 1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss. Both sides have secured impressive wins so far with Brentford beating Manchester United 4-0 and Leeds with a 3-0 win over Chelsea.
The last time the sides met was a fantastic day for Leeds and their supporters. Securing a 2-1 win on the last day of the season to avoid relegation to the Championship. Jack Harrison with an injury-time winner.
Brentford have proved this season that they can never be written off, twice coming back late on to secure valuable draws against Crystal Palace and Everton. Leeds in comparison came back from behind to secure a point at home to Everton on Tuesday. So, whatever the score on Saturday, don’t rule out any late drama.
Brentford have brought in two players this week in Edison Pruti and Charlie Farr with Leeds securing a deadline day signing of Italy International Wilfried Gnonto. For the Bees, Kristoffer Ajer is still not fully fit and Ethan Pinnock remains out with a knee injury. Pontus Jansson is a doubt with a foot injury, but Sergi Canos could return after a hamstring strain.
for Leeds, Patrick Bamford came through the last 15 minutes of the Everton game unscathed and could be in line for a recall. Rodrigo is out with a shoulder injury and Daniel James has left on loan to Fulham for the remainder of the season. Long-term absentees Stuart Dallas, Luke Ayling and Junior Firpo are all making good process but are doubtful to feature this week.
