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

Thomas Frank will be pleased with the first-half performance and will be looking for more of the same from his side as they look to see out this win. As things stand, Leicester have dropped to just one place above the relegation zone and they need a big improvement if they want to turn this game on its head.

Jensen's strike gives Brentford a 1-0 advantage over Leicester at half-time. The hosts were on top for the majority of the game and created some good chances. They took the lead after Leicester failed to clear a set-piece, and Jensen's deflected shot rolled past the wrong-footed Iversen. Wissa saw a shot saved, while at the other end, Barnes and Daka both came close, but they didn't test Raya.

Mbeumo brings Maddison down when he nicks the ball off him, and the Leicester captain isn't happy when he doesn't get a free-kick. He's complaining to the referee, but he won't change his mind.

It's neatly worked by Barnes as he plays a one-two with Dewsbury-Hall to get to the edge of the box. Before he can get it out of his feet, he's crowded out, and Brentford clear their lines.

Leicester have a rare chance to attack here as Pereiar sweeps it out to Tete on the right. He just sets off too early though, and the flag brings it to an end.
