Preview
Brentford heads into this after a narrow a 1-0 home loss to Chelsea in their previous clash where Chilwell’s first half strike made the difference.
However, the Bees would be upbeat with their second half performance where they kept knocking at the door only to miss out on a well-deserved point from the clash due to the Chelsea keeper, Mendy.
The Bees remain a top side capable of startling teams around them and maximizing their potential.
They are in 11th place with 12 points from 8 matches in the EPL table.
On the other hand, Leicester picked up successive wins in different competitions as they overcame Manchester United and Spartak in the EPL and UEL respectively.
Leicester City have shown sparks of brilliance but need to find the consistency factor in their play if they are to go the distance.
