Brentford are chasing a European spot and sit seventh in the table after winning two of their last three. Leicester have suffered four straight defeats and dropped to 16th, only out of the relegation zone on goal difference.
Brendan Rodgers has blamed mistakes and lacking concentration for the Foxes’ fall and without a response here they could end the day in the bottom three.

Brentford vs Leicester City
CLOSE! It's better from Leicester as Barnes bundles a pass into Dewsbury-Hall before continuing his run down the left and getting the return. He cuts inside before whipping a shot towards the far post, and it flies narrowly wide.

SAVE! Jensen leads the charge down Brentford's left this time and he slides it into Wissa on the edge of the box. He holds off Ndidi as he spins and curls a shot on goal, but it's a comfortable one for Iversen.

Brentford are keeping the pressure on here and Jensen's cross is only cleared as far as Damsgaard. He cushions it into the middle, but Toney flicks his header straight against Amartey.

Leicester are unbeaten in their last seven league games against Brentford (W5 D2) since a 3-2 loss in the second tier in March 1953. They've won all three of their away matches against the Bees in that run.

Brentford break quickly on the counter again, and Henry chases down Mee's long ball over the top. He squares it across the box with his first touch, looking for Mbeumo on the far side, but Castagne slides in with a vital block.

Jensen's long throw-in is cleared straight back to him, so he clips a cross into the far post. Mbuemo rises above his marker, but it's just too high for him, and it skims his head on its way out.

Leicester look to break quickly following another Brentford corner, and Barnes links up well with Daka down the left side. In the end, Barnes' throughball into the box is too heavy for the forward, and Raya collects.
