Match preview

Brentford appear to have emerged from their mid-season slump and look a great price to make it three wins in a row at Leicester.

The Bees have eased their relegation fears by beating Norwich and Burnley and have found an extra gear since Christian Eriksen’s introduction to their side.

The Dane’s comeback is one of the feelgood stories of the season and his quality has also reinvigorated Ivan Toney.

Toney has netted five times in Brentford’s last two games and Eriksen's creativity will only benefit him.

Leicester are unbeaten in five at home and are starting to get bodies back, with defender Wesley Fofana making his first appearance of the season in Thursday’s 2-1 defeat to Rennes.

However, they don’t carry the same threat without Jamie Vardy and with the striker still injured, Brentford could grab their third straight win.

Key stat

Ivan Toney has scored five goals in Brentford’s last two Premier League games.
