Leicester can climb out of the Premier League’s bottom three with a win against Brentford on Friday night.
The Foxes kick off the top-flight weekend when hosting the Bees at the King Power Stadium this evening.
It’s been a torrid run for head coach Ruud van Nistelrooy, whose side have lost nine of their last 10 league games. Leicester have scored just once in their previous five games and are running out of time to turn their season around.

Brentford are comfortably clear of trouble despite the sale of Ivan Toney in the summer. Thomas Frank’s side have also won their last three away games, securing victories at Southampton, Crystal Palace and West Ham.
