Match preview
This replay of the final game of last season – which saw Leeds grab a last-minute winner to seal their Premier League status – comes on the back of midweek matches that saw both Brentford and the Whites drop points, having made promising starts to the season.
Thomas Frank’s side have a favourable record against Leeds in recent years at home but were unable to condemn Jesse Marsch’s side to relegation, and having entered that game as favourites, are more likely to be on the back foot from the off this time round.
While it has been a promising start for the Bees, draws to struggling Leicester and Everton and a defeat to Fulham could potentially overshadow a famous win over Manchester United, and they could look back on them as points lost at the end of the season despite a haul of six points from their opening five matches.
They have recruited wisely however, and are unlikely to be too troubled by relegation with this encounter against Leeds a good test of where they are.
The same can be said of the Peacocks, who have picked up just one point since an impressive win over Chelsea.
There were plenty of chances to clinch the victory against Everton on Tuesday and a four-week layoff for Rodrigo has left Marsch short on options up front, leading to the last-gasp signing of Wilfried Gnonto on deadline day at the expense of Dan James, who joined Fulham.
