Brentford vs Leicester City

See how Premier League expert Anthony Dabbundo is betting the Brentford vs Leicester City contest on Saturday morning.

The Foxes are in the top half of the Premier League in average possession and third in offensive PPDA, but that isn’t really going to matter against Brentford, who will let Leicester have the ball. The Foxes have also been terrible defensively, allowing 1.57 npxG per 90 minutes, which is 18th in the Premier League. The problems that exist for Leicester come in the final third. They also play incredibly well at the Brentford Community Stadium, where they have lost just one match all season long (vs. The Bees defend their penalty area better than any non-big six club in the Premier League, as they’re only allowing 1.2 npxG per 90 minutes and they have the second-best final third to penalty box conversion rate. Brentford still have an outside shot at securing European football next season, so every match is crucial for them until the end of the season.

QUESTIONABLE: Victor Kristiansen (ankle), Jonny Evans (undisclosed) Defensively they are making big mistakes and they are being overrun in midfield and their strikers aren’t finishing the chances Maddison is creating. At the moment they are relying heavily on James Maddison to drag them out of trouble but he can’t do it all on his own. They were on a 12-game unbeaten run before their shock defeat at Everton last weekend but Ivan Toney grabbed a goal and an assist against Saints to keep Brentford in the hunt for European qualification.

Ivan Toney continues to bang in the goals, they are so tough to play against and the job Thomas Frank has done makes him a serious contender for Premier League manager of the season.

Brentford will look to continue their unexpected push for a European place when they play host to Leicester City on Saturday.

However, the Bees carry plenty of attacking threats themselves, and they should expect to breach a fragile Leicester backline. And he will fancy himself to get on the scoresheet yet again. James Maddison, if fit, holds the key for Leicester in the final third as he continues to pull the strings from the No. Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers will have to make do without the services of a host of key players. Tete and Harvey Barnes will look to put their afterburners to good use as they aim to generate some opportunistic moments down the flanks. Not only are they struggling to keep the ball out of their net, but they are also looking out-of-sorts in attack and have scored just twice during their five-game losing streak, firing blanks in each of their last two away from home. They will need to play out of their skins to keep Brentford’s dynamic midfielders quiet on Saturday. Rodgers is likely to field a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Danny Ward a certainty between the sticks. The Foxes head to Brentford on Saturday seeking to end a run of five straight defeats in all competitions. They sit in the 16th spot, and only a superior goal difference is keeping them out of the bottom three. But the principles remain the same, and they are extremely potent on turnovers. That result meant Thomas Frank’s team has now taken a big leap up to eighth in the table, where they sit just a point behind 6th-placed Liverpool and 7th-placed Brighton.

Brentford host out of form Leicester as the Bees look to move above Brighton and into the European places.

I think it was a difficult start for him, with how the summer was for us and the beginning of the season. The club paid a lot of money for Danny. But I still felt Danny was deserving of the opportunity because of what we'd seen in training. The manager also hinted this week that he may consider a change in goal, with Daniel Iversen coming in for Danny Ward. With our situation in the summer, even if we wanted to, there was no one we could bring in. That's a tough ask, with Brentford last losing at home in the Premier League in September.
