THE LOWDOWN
LEEDS UTD
- Whilst successfully advanced through to the FA Cup fourth round in midweek, their Premier League form remains a worry and going into this weekend’s fixtures, they lie just two points above the bottom three.
- Colombian Luis Sinisterra returned to action in their 5-2 win over Cardiff and could well be thrown in from the start here by Jesse Marsch, but a number of central defenders are doubtful.
BRENTFORD
- Brentford made it three successive Premier League victories with a comfortable 2-0 triumph against Bournemouth, making it ten points gained from a possible 12 since the World Cup break.
- Rico Henry is doubtful, but the left-back will be hopeful of being passed fit to play, as well as Aaron Hickey on the opposite side and midfielder Shandon Baptiste.
THE TEAM NEWS
LEEDS UTD
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Meslier, Ayling, Koch, Cooper, Struijk; Roca, Adams; Sinisterra, Aaronson, Gnonto; Rodrigo
UNAVAILABLE: Dallas (Injured), Gray (Injured), Forshaw (Fitness), Summerville (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Cooper (Injured), Koch (Injured), Wober (Injured)
BRENTFORD
PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Raya; Ajer, Pinnock, Mee, Henry; Jensen, Norgaard, Janelt; Mbeumo, Toney, Wissa
UNAVAILABLE: Jansson (Injured), Onyeka (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Baptiste (Injured), Henry (Fitness), Hickey (Fitness)
THE PREDICTION
Despite Brentford’s strong recent record, Leeds Utd won’t be afraid to take the game to be Bees from an attacking perspective at Elland Road. The return of Sinisterra from injury is a huge boost to them in particular when taking into account his dismantling of Brentford in the return fixture. However, the visitors will prove a significant threat on the counter-attack and regardless of the final outcome, backing both teams to score has to be favoured.
TIP: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
