Leeds United vs Brentford – Predicted lineup and team news

Leeds United host Brentford at Elland Road tonight, aiming to snap a five-game winless run and pull away from the Premier League’s bottom three.

The Whites have moved into a critical phase of their survival battle, sitting just three points above the drop zone. Manager Daniel Farke oversaw a resilient defensive display at Crystal Palace last weekend but knows his side must rediscover their scoring touch after failing to find the net in three consecutive matches.

Leeds United team news

Daniel Farke manages a squad bolstered by a significant return in the attacking third. Notably, Noah Okafor is available for selection after missing the last five matches with a hamstring injury.

Consequently, Farke has more options to break a goal drought that has persisted since early March. However, Gabriel Gudmundsson is suspended tonight, likely forcing James Justin to shift to left wing-back.

Notably, Anton Stach remains a vital creative hub; his 27 chances created from set-plays this term are a league-high, level with Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes.

Karl Darlow will start in goal behind a projected back three of Joe Rodon, Jaka Bijol, and Pascal Struijk. In midfield, Ethan Ampadu and Sean Longstaff will anchor the side, with Jayden Bogle expected to return on the right flank.

Brenden Aaronson and Stach will provide the support for Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who missed a crucial penalty last weekend but remains the team’s primary focal point.

Notably, Leeds score a higher share of their goals from set-pieces (35.1%) than any other team in the division—a statistic they will hope to exploit against a physical Brentford side.
