Brentford is not giving up their hopes of earning a European spot next season and they play host to relegation-threatened Leicester City in Saturday’s Premier League clash.
Currently eighth and just a point off Liverpool and Brighton, the Bees will hope to build on the 2-0 win at Bournemouth in mid-week following the loss to Everton last weekend.
Now finding themselves on the edge of the drop zone, Brendan Rodgers’ Foxes are reeling from five consecutive defeats in all competitions after the 3-1 loss at the hands of Chelsea.

Brentford team news & squad
Keane Lewis-Potter is out for two months following knee surgery, while goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha is unavailable until after the international break due to an ankle problem.
Vitaly Janelt is also a big doubt after being taken off against Southampton on account of a knee problem, besides Mads Roerslev – who missed the win at St. Mary’s – needing assessment ahead of the Leicester game.
As such, Frank Onyeka or Josh Dasilva would take to a midfield role in the event Janelt doesn’t pass his fitness test.
