THE LOWDOWN
LEICESTER
- Leicester may have lost 2-1 away at Rennes this past Thursday, but it wasn’t enough to prevent them from qualifying for the quarter-finals of the inaugural Europa Conference League with Europe likely their main priority as they lie in mid-table obscurity when it comes to the Premier League.
- Centre-back Wes Fofana got through 78 minutes against Rennes and even managed a goal, a huge boost for boss Brendan Rodgers, who will likely hand Fofana another start against Brentford, with fellow defender Caglar Soyuncu a doubt due to illness alongside striker Patson Daka.
BRENTFORD
- Two straights for Brentford has given them a vital cushion above the Premier League’s bottom three after the Bees backed up their win over Norwich with a 2-0 triumph at home to fellow strugglers Burnley.
- Josh Dasilva remains suspended after his sending off against Newcastle, whilst Tarique Fosu and Julian Jeanvier represent Brentford’s injury concerns at present.

THE PREDICTION
Brentford must fancy their chances of a positive result here against a strong Leicester team, but one with little to play for bar positioning in terms of the Premier League right now as they look to mount a charge for European glory. The Bees meanwhile, remain in a fight to stay clear of that dreaded bottom three, but with confidence high following their Norwich and Burnley triumphs, they are expected to take the game to Leicester and try to feed in-form striker Ivan Toney, who has scored all five Brentford goals across their last two games. It would be no surprise if the visitors were to gain a point from this contest and possibly even all three, so consider backing them to achieve one of these feats via the double chance market.
Tip: BRENTFORD WIN/DRAW DOUBLE CHANCE
