Preamble
Hello and welcome to live coverage of Brentford v Leeds at the Gtech Stadium. Leeds have happy memories of this ground, having avoided relegation here on the final day of the 2021-22 season. They’re in another relegation battle as things stand, though the situation looks healthier after a fine week in which they took four points from games at home to Chelsea and Leeds.
Brentford have adjusted pretty well to life after Thomas Frank, Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa. Crucially, their home form has been superb: five wins from seven, with only a single defeat to Manchester City. Leeds, whose away record is almost a mirror image*, have their work cut out.
Kick off 4.30pm.
* P7 W1 D0 L6. And the win was at Wolves.
