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 visitors are being penned back in their own half as Brentford's dominance in possession continues. Leicester just can't get a touch of the ball at the moment.

Leicester just can't cope with the threat coming down Brentford's left as Henry pulls it back to Damsgaard on the edge of the box. His first-time shot is blocked, but the hosts' pressure continues and they win a corner.

Leicester aren't happy that the goal stands as they're claiming Toney was offside when Mbuemo played it back across the box. A VAR check proves he wasn't and the visitors get the game back underway.

Maddison's first touch is poor, and Mee steps in to nick it off him before advancing through midfield. He threads it through to Toney, who tries his luck from a tight angle, but Amartey blocks it.

Dewsbury-Hall's poor clearance is pounced on by Mbeumo, and he drifts past Castagne before pulling it back from the byline. Toney is waiting in the middle, but Ndidi rushes back to take it off his toe.
