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

CHANCE! It's a great cross from Henry, as he plays it out to Mbeumo on the right of the box. He drags it around Castagne before trying to curl it into the far top corner, but he can't find the target.

GOOD CHANCE! Pereira fires an early cross into the box, and Pinnock can only send it up into the air as he stretches to clear it. It bounces invitingly for Daka, but he fires his volley over the crossbar from close range.

Mee tries to catch Leicester out with another long ball over the top, this time for Mbeumo to chase down the left. There's too much on it, but he wasn't going to get past Amartey anyway.

After stopping Daka from breaking on the counter, Jensen decides to go for a big switch out to Damsgaard on the far side. He doesn't get enough on it though, and Souttar cuts it out.

Leicester are starting to find their rhythm here, and they're keeping Brentford penned back in their own half. The hosts are staying compact and making it difficult for the Foxes to pass their way through.

JUST WIDE! Tete can't find a way past Norgaard with his clever footwork, so he pulls it back to Pereira, who whips a dangerous cross into the six-yard box. Daka gets in front of Pinnock to thump a header on goal, but he sends it wide.
