Brentford XI vs Leeds United – Predicted lineup and team news

Brentford travel to Elland Road tonight, aiming to maintain their blistering away form and move closer to the Champions League qualification spots.

The Bees have moved into the European qualification spots under manager Keith Andrews, who has overseen a run of five wins from their last seven Premier League games on the road. Only leaders Arsenal have collected more away points than Brentford’s 16 in this period, and the visitors will look to capitalise on a Leeds side that has failed to score in its last three outings.

Brentford team news

Keith Andrews manages a squad still missing several long-term defensive and midfield absentees. Notably, Vitaly Janelt, Aaron Hickey, and Rico Henry remain ruled out. Consequently, the manager faces a late decision on Mikkel Damsgaard, with Yehor Yarmolyuk standing by to deputise in midfield.

Notably, Igor Thiago enters the match on 19 goals for the season; one more strike would make him the third different Brentford player to hit the 20-goal mark in a single Premier League campaign.

Caoimhín Kelleher will start in goal; the Irishman is currently the only keeper in the division to have saved multiple penalties this season.

The back four will likely feature Sepp van den Berg and Nathan Collins, with Michael Kayode and Keane Lewis-Potter out wide. In attack, Dango Ouattara and Kevin Schade are set to support Thiago.

Interestingly, Brentford have been involved in more penalties (awarded 8, conceded 7) than any other top-flight side this term, a factor that could be decisive against a Leeds side that has conceded a league-high six goals from the spot.
