Preamble
These two teams are in contrasting form. Brentford have only lost once game since the start of February, while you have to go back to the 6th of that month for Leeds United’s most recent league win. Daniel Farke’s side have to be a little careful they do not get dragged into the relegation battle – they are playing before their rivals, Tottenham, Nottingham Forest and West Ham this weekend, so it’s a chance to put a six-point cushion between themselves and the drop zone. Spurs and Forest meet each other tomorrow in an enormous six-pointer.
Leeds have favoured home games under the Elland Road lights more than any other kind of match this season, so Farke will be hopeful of a performance. It was 1-1 when the teams met in west London in December. Dominic Calvert-Lewin was named in the extended 35-man England squad for upcoming friendlies against Uruguay and Japan; can he celebrate with a goal tonight?
Join us for all the buildup, with kick-off at 8pm GMT. Looking forward to this one.
