Leeds United travel to the capital on Sunday to take on Brentford in high spirits. Daniel Farke’s men have taken four points from two tough home games against Chelsea and Liverpool.
Furthermore, they have scored six goals in those two matches. This newfound attacking potency has lifted them to 16th in the table. However, Leeds must overcome significant psychological hurdles in this fixture.
They have lost their last nine Premier League games in London. Additionally, they have lost their last eight league games played on a Sunday. Therefore, Farke will demand a sharp performance to break these curses and continue their upward trajectory.
Leeds United team news
Daniel Farke has confirmed that striker Lukas Nmecha remains unavailable. He is still symptomatic and has not fully healed. Sean Longstaff and Dan James also remain on the sidelines with calf and hamstring injuries, respectively.
Consequently, the manager is expected to stick with the 3-5-2 formation. Dominic Calvert-Lewin will lead the attack again. He is in sensational form, having scored in three consecutive games against top opposition. He will likely be partnered by Noah Okafor. Defensively, the back three of Joe Rodon, Jaka Bijol, and Pascal Struijk should remain unchanged after solid performances.

Leeds United predicted XI: Perri; Bogle, Rodon, Bijol, Struijk, Gudmundsson; Stach, Ampadu, Tanaka; Calvert-Lewin, Okafor
