Brentford vs Leeds United Team News

Barry Douglas could be back in contention after making a comeback for the under-23s on Friday, although Tyler Roberts is doubtful. Adam Forshaw, Leif Davis and Ryan Edmondson remain long-term absentees.

Pontus Jansson is unlikely to face his former club after missing the past month with a hip injury, while Sergi Canos and Kamohelo Makotjo are also sidelined.

Brentford vs Leeds United Preview

Unlike their opponents, Thomas Frank’s team will come into this clash in high spirits after following up an emphatic 5-1 away win against Hull with a late winner in Saturday’s 3-2 victory over Middlesbrough.

They will expect that feelgood factor to continue considering their strong home record against the Whites, as well as a run of seven wins in the previous eight league fixtures in front of their own fans.

Leeds fell to yet another defeat on Saturday evening, looking fairly toothless in a 2-0 loss at Nottingham Forest which means the Whites only occupy an automatic promotion spot by virtue of goal difference.
