Team news

Brentford
Vitaly Janelt faces a late test on his thigh injury but Yoane Wissa, Mads Sorensen, Josh DaSilva and Shandon Baptiste are all out.

Leicester
Timothy Castagne and Ayoze Perez could come into contention, as could Thursday's four-goal hero Patson Daka.

Match preview

Brentford have acquitted themselves well since gaining promotion and while no team outside the top four of the Premier League have conceded fewer than their seven goals, they could be involved in a lively encounter against Leicester.

The Bees were unfortunate to lose to Champions League winners Chelsea in their last league game, while Arsenal were dispatched 2-0 on the opening day of the campaign and they held unbeaten Liverpool to a 3-3 draw at their new west London home.

However, Thomas Frank's team should be put under plenty of pressure by Leicester, who have put four past both Manchester United and Spartak Moscow this week.

Brendan Rodgers' Foxes have failed to score in just one of their last 18 Premier League away games and, with six of their last seven games having featured at least three goals, this looks poised to be another entertaining encounter.
