Leicester City tipped to get back to winning ways against Brentford – Fans’ hopeful

Leicester City are in trouble after another defeat, dropping to 19th in the standings, with relegation looming ahead of Brentford’s visit this week. Last weekend, they faced Arsenal at the King Power Stadium and held their ground until late in the game, when substitute Mikel Merino scored twice

to give the Gunners the three points.

The Foxes have lost nine of their previous 10 Premier League games and are two points from safety, raising doubts about Ruud van Nistelrooy’s hiring. A poor run of play, as well as their competitors improving, might lead to the Foxes being regarded as relegation favourites.

Brentford, led by Thomas Frank, took a crucial step towards climbing the table last weekend when

they defeated West Ham United away from home. The Bees’ season has been characterised by both excellent home form and a poor road record.

Brentford has won their previous three away games after gaining only two points out of a possible

27. Those triumphs came against Southampton, Crystal Palace, and West Ham, and they hope to

add a fourth when they visit the King Power Stadium.

Team News & Tactics

James Justin’s ankle injury caused him to leave the game against Arsenal, raising further concerns.

The defender was later seen wearing a protective boot, casting doubt on his availability on Friday

night for the Foxes.

Aside from that, Ruud van Nistelrooy does not appear to have any new concerns, with Abdul Fatawu

and Ricardo Pereira the only players missing from selection. Whether the manager makes any

significant changes remains to be seen, as Woyo Coulibaly could replace Justin at right-back, while

Wout Faes and Caleb Okoli maintain their centre combination.

Prediction

Leicester City 0–2 Brentford

Leicester City has struggled in all areas during the last few games, surrendering, failing to score, and losing the majority of their games. This run might continue when they host Brentford, putting pressure on Ruud van Nistelrooy.
