Your support makes all the difference.Brentford travel to Leicester City on Sunday for a Premier League fixture where star signing Christian Eriksen is sure to line-up for his club.
Eriksen joined the side in the winter transfer window and has played well for Thomas Frank ever since. The manager has said the signing wasn’t a gamble and he believes Eriksen will be the club’s greatest ever signing.
“For me it was not a gamble,” the manager said. “I was convinced he could help us and that he could be the best signing ever for Brentford.
“It was not an injury, it was a heart condition. So he wouldn’t have lost any speed or anything. There’s a mental issue but when he decided he wanted to play that was it.”
But who else will line-up for the teams? Here’s all you need to know.
When is it?
The match will kick-off at 2pm on Sunday, 20 March at the King Power Stadium.
How can I watch?
