Brentford host Jesse Marsch’s Leeds side this afternoon as both teams look to avoid a second defeat of the season.
After escaping relegation last term by only three points, Leeds were one of the favourites to go down this year, but it has been a strong start to the new campaign for the Whites.
Heading into round 6 of the Premier League, they sit in 7th place after amassing 8 points from their first 5 games, with their only loss of coming against Brighton.
Leeds’ opening to the campaign has also featured a 3-0 thrashing of 2 time Champion League winners Chelsea, a result which left the Elland Road crowd buzzing.

Brentford have had a similarly impressive start to the campaign, having also only lost once.
The Bees pulled off an equally surprising giant killing themselves, beating Manchester United 4-0 in the Premier League’s second gameweek.
Draws against Leicester, Palace and Everton leave Thomas Frank’s side in 11th place heading into this afternoon’s clash.
