Hello and welcome to our live text commentary of this Premier League match between Leeds United and Brentford at Elland Road.
Leeds need wins to pull away from the relegation zone as a run of just two victories in their last 15 Premier League matches has left them hovering just above the bottom three. The Whites picked up a morale-boosting win over Cardiff in the FA Cup midweek. Jesse Marsch will be keen to see his team continue in that vein.
In contrast, Brentford are buzzing at the moment. The Bees have won their last three Premier League matches and are unbeaten in their last seven. If the West Londoners can keep this run of form going, they'll stand a good chance of European qualification come the season's end.
LEEDS UNITED (4-2-3-1): Illan Meslier; Luke Ayling (c), Robin Koch, Maximilian Wober, Pascal Struijk; Marc Roca, Tyler Adams; Jack Harrison, Brenden Aaronson, Wilfried Gnonto; Rodrigo.
SUBS: Rasmus Kristensen, Luis Sinisterra, Sam Greenwood, Junior Firpo, Joel Robles, Joe Gelhardt, Georginio Rutter, Patrick Bamford, Diego Llorente.
BRENTFORD (3-5-2): David Raya; Kristoffer Ajer, Ethan Pinnock, Ben Mee; Mads Roerslev, Josh Dasilva, Christian Norgaard (c), Mathias Jensen, Rico Henry; Ivan Toney, Bryan Mbeumo.
SUBS: Zanka, Aaron Hickey, Saman Ghoddos, Mikkel Damsgaard, Vitaly Janelt, Thomas Strakosha, Keane Lewis-Potter, Yoane Wissa, Kevin Schade.
The match with the lowest expected goals tally of any Premier League game this season comes to an end then. It wasn't a classic, but both teams will take the result. That's all for now. Goodbye!
