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:

Brentford vs Leicester City

Leicester's high press is causing Brentford some real problems at the moment, but the hosts manage to scramble it out to their left, where Henry has space. He sweeps it out to Toney on the far side, but his cross is blocked by Souttar.

BLOCK! Castagne races down the left before going for the big switch out to Tete on the opposite flank. He cuts inside before ghosting past three defenders on the edge of the box, but his drilled shot is blocked by Pinnock.

It's well cut out by Dewsbury-Hall again, but Pinnock cuts out the pass to Daka. Maddison latches onto the loose ball and has options on either side ahead of him. He goes right, but plays it well behind Pereira and out of play.

Ndidi cuts out Damsgaard's cross and plays a hopeful long ball upfield. Pinnock wants to let it run to Raya until he realises that Barnes is chasing him down, and he hurriedly clears his lines.

Mbeumo has drifted infield and he does well to keep the attack alive by knocking it onto Norgaard. He tries to slide in Jensen, but Ndidi sticks out a leg to cut it out.
