Follow live coverage as Brentford face Leicester City in the Premier League today.

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.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

The pressure on Brendan Rodgers is growing as his Leicester side try to get themselves out of the relegation battle. They currently sit in 16th, but are only outside of the drop zone on goal difference, and could drop in should results go against them today. They've lost their last five matches in all competitions, with their last win coming against Tottenham over a month ago. At the other end of the table, Brentford are looking to take advantage of the fact that the teams above them aren't playing, and a win can move them sixth. Their 12-match unbeaten run came to an end last weekend against Everton, but they bounced back with a 2-0 win over Southampton in midweek.
