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:

Dewsbury-Hall weaves his way through the middle before picking out Pereira. His cross is headed away by Mee, and Souttar finds himself high upfield as he dribbles his way into the box, but he can't pick out a shot.

Pinnock decides against a long throw-in but does curl a cross in when it comes back to him. Souttar clears again, and Maddison hooks it upfield. Vardy hopefully gives chase, but he's beaten to it by Henry.

Leicester only half clear their lines and Toney does well to win it back and pick out Mbuemo. He has three waiting at the near post but lifts it over all of them, and it bounces harmlessly out of play.

There are some half-hearted shouts for a penalty from the Leicester players for a handball against Norgaard. It hit him in the chest though, and the referee gives a quick shake of his head.

Schade gives away a cheap foul on Maddison, who steps up to take the free-kick on the left. It's a wonderful delivery into the box, but he can't pick out a team-mate as Norgaard puts it out for a corner.
