Brentford head to struggling Leicester tonight looking to continue their impressive away form.
Thomas Frank’s team have won each of their last three Premier League games on the road. After a poor start to the season in fixtures away from the Gtech, Brentford are unbeaten in four on their travels and have reeled off successive wins at Southampton, Crystal Palace and West Ham.
Kevin Schade’s early goal was the difference at West Ham last time out, a result that leaves the Bees 11th in the Premier League table.

Tonight’s trip will see Brentford take on a Leicester team mired in trouble. The Foxes have lost nine of their last 10 games in the Premier League and sit 19th. However, a win this evening will lift Ruud van Nistelrooy’s team out of the bottom three.
Brentford XI vs Leicester – Predicted lineup and team news
Brentford team news
Brentford will assess Sepp van den Berg ahead of the game, after the Dutch defender picked up a knee problem at West Ham. However, Ethan Pinnock’s return offers Frank a like-for-like replacement in central defence, with Kristoffer Ajer currently operating at right-back.
Summer signing Igor Thiago remains in the treatment room, alongside Aaron Hickey, Rico Henry and Josh Dasilva.
Mikkel Damsgaard should continue in an advanced midfield role and has eight assists this season. Only three Premier League players have created more goals in 2024/25.
