Brentford is going head to head with Leicester City starting on 18 Mar 2023 at 15:00 UTC at Brentford Community Stadium stadium, London city, England. The match is a part of the Premier League. Brentford played against Leicester City in 1 matches this season. Currently, Brentford rank 8th, while Leicester City hold 16th position.
Seeking to climb into the top six of the Premier League, European hopefuls Brentford welcome relegation-threatened Leicester City to the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday. While the Bees are looking to extend their unbeaten home run in the top flight to 10 matches, the Foxes are hoping to avoid a third successive away defeat.
Brentford saw their 12-game unbeaten league run come to an end at the hands of Everton last weekend, but they quickly returned to winning ways with a routine 2-0 victory away against basement club Southampton on Wednesday night.
Ivan Toney – who has been called up to Gareth Southgate’s latest England squad – increased his top-flight goal tally for the season to 16 with an opening strike just after the half-hour mark before setting up substitute Yoane Wissa in the seventh minute of second-half stoppage time to seal Brentford 10th league win of the campaign.

Brentford vs Leicester City Prediction
Leicester City are on a poor run of form. They seem to have once again lost their ability to win games. Brentford have been very good at home and are unbeaten in their last nine home games in the league.
Leicester City will be desperate to eke out a win and go into the international break on a positive note. But Brentford could prove to be a difficult side to get a positive result against.
Prediction: Brentford 2-1 Leicester City

Brentford vs Leicester City Team News
Brentford midfielder Vitaly Janelt was taken off on the stroke of half time against Southampton with a knee injury and will subsequently miss Saturday’s game, while Kristoffer Ajer has picked up a calf problem and is also unavailable for selection.
The Bees duo will join Keane Lewis-Potter (knee) and Thomas Strakosha (ankle) in the treatment room, while Mads Roerslev will be assessed ahead of kickoff after missing the win at St Mary’s with a minor hamstring problem.
The absence of Janelt will likely see either Frank Onyeka or Josh Dasilva take his place in the starting lineup, joining Mathias Jensen and Christian Norgaard in centre-midfield.
