Team News

Brentford
Leicester
  • Igor Thiago made his first league appearance off the bench at Everton last weekend, and his return is a boost for Brentford.
  • Gustavo Nunes will be assessed, leaving Rico Henry, Josh Dasilva, Aaron Hickey and Kristoffer Ajer as the home side's only confirmed absentees.
  • Ruud van Nistelrooy is set to be named Leicester boss, though Ben Dawson will take charge for the game at Brentford.
  • Facundo Buonanotte returns from a ban, which is a boost, but Abdul Fatawu, Ricardo Pereira, Harry Winks and Jakub Stolarczyk all miss out.

Prediction

  • Brentford ended their away-day rut with a 0-0 draw at Everton last week and will look to maintain their rampant home form on Saturday when they host lowly Leicester.
  • The Foxes will hope for new manager bounce when they take on Brentford with Ruud van Nistelrooy expected to succeed Steve Cooper at the King Power helm.
  • The Bees should maintain their flying home start with another three points here.
