Leeds United will host Brentford in an English Premier League fixture at Elland Road on Sunday. The hosts are heading into the match on the back of a 5-2 FA cup win over Cardiff City in the mid-week, while Brentford got the better of Bournemouth 2-0 in the league, last Saturday. Leeds are currently languishing at the 14th spot in the English top tier standings, having collected 17 points from 18 games, just two clear of the relegation zone. The visitors, meanwhile, are sitting at the ninth position, with 29 points to their name from 19 matches, just four adrift of the European spot.

Leeds are searching for their first league-win since the beginning of November. The Peacocks lost their last top tier game against Aston Villa (2-1) last Saturday, despite the fact Patrick Bamford got on the scoresheet. It was their ninth league-defeat of the campaign, while they have won only four top flight matches all season. Meanwhile, last time out, Jesse Marsch’s side earned a much needed win over Cardiff City to enter the fourth round of the FA Cup. The first leg of the fixture had ended in a 2-2 draw, forcing the tie into the replay. On Wednesday, Wilfried Gnonto and Patrick Bamford both scored a brace, while Rodrigo also found the back of the net to help the Peacocks set up a fourth round tie with either Boreham Wood or Accrington Stanley later this month.
Brentford, on the other hand, got eliminated from the Cup competition after losing 1-0 to West Ham United on January 7. However, the Bees have been in stunning form in the top flight, having not tasted defeat in their last seven league matches. Since the resumption of competitive action following the World Cup break, the Bees have won three of their four league-matches, including a 3-1 victory over Liverpool. Last time out, Thomas Frank’s side defeated Bournemouth courtesy of goals from Ivan Toney and Mathias Jensen. It was their seventh top flight victory of the campaign. The Bees have pocketed seven points from their last nine available away from home, including back-to-back wins over Manchester City and West Ham United.
Leeds United Probable line-up: Meslier, Kristensen, Koch, Cooper, Strujik, Adams, Roca, Harrison, Aaronson, Gnonto, Rodrigo
Brentford probable line-up: Raya, Ajer, Pinnock, Mee, Henry, Jensen, Norgaard, Janelt, Mbeumo, Toney, Wissa
