Leeds United
- Leeds United’s recent form has been poor - no wins, three draws, and two defeats in their last five - with Daniel Farke’s side dropping down the table after two consecutive 0-1 defeats at home to Manchester City and Sunderland, followed by a 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace.
- Leeds have six wins, four ties, and five defeats from 15 home matches in the Premier League 2025/2026 campaign.
Brentford
- In stark contrast, Brentford’s recent matches have been tight, but exciting, with Keith Andrews’ Bees coming off the back of two consecutive draws - a 0-0 away at Bournemouth and a 2-2 home thriller against Wolves.
- Brentford have continued to mix high-intensity pressing and aggression with moments of controlled possession under their new boss, with their fluid formations, set-piece play, and press-resistant midfielders making them a tough team to break down.
Head-to-Head
Leeds have failed to beat Brentford in their last two meetings , with both of those games ending in a tie.
Key Players
- With their aerial prowess in the forward positions, Leeds United set up to be direct, transitioning from defence to attack by using Calvert-Lewin as a target-man and hold-up player for their pacy, physical attackers.
- Brentford’s high-pressing, data-driven approach has continued under the new boss, who has simply brought his own tweaks to Thomas Frank’s high-press system.
- With Igor Thiago in his stride, Brentford have the ‘danger man’ to unlock defences, and his 19 goals from 30 Premier League appearances have been crucial.
