After both sides made winning starts to the Premier League season, Leeds<\/a> and Brentford will now face each other at Elland Road.<\/p>\n

Anton Stach\u2019s late free-kick\u00a0saw Leeds win 1-0 away at Nottingham Forest, and they also beat the same opponents by a 2-0 scoreline in the Carabao Cup.<\/p>\n

Brentford kicked off the season with a brilliant 3-0 win at home to Tottenham, before winning 6-1 away to Birmingham City in the Carabao Cup.<\/p>\n

Leeds team news<\/p>\n

After making six changes for the Carabao Cup tie, Daniel Farke is likely to revert to the team that started in the Premier League opener.<\/p>\n

Goalkeeper James Trafford is set to make his home debut at Elland Road, and will likely be protected by a back three of Joe Rodon, Jaka Bijol and Tarik Muharemovic.<\/p>\n

Jayden Bogle, Anton Stach, Ethan Ampadu and James Justin should be the midfield four, while Harry Wilson and Brenden Aaronson will play either side of Dominic Calvert-Lewin.<\/p>\n

Gabriel Gudmundsson and Willy Gnonto are yet to feature this season after picking up hamstring injuries in pre-season friendlies, but they are now back in training and could make the matchday squad.<\/p>\n

Ilia Gruev has also returned to full training following a more long-term injury, although this game will probably come too soon for the midfielder.<\/p>\n

Mateo Joseph remains sidelined after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury\u00a0during his loan spell at Mallorca last season.<\/p>\n

Brentford team news<\/p>\n

Keith Andrews could potentially hand a full debut to new signing El Hadji Malick Diouf, who has arrived from West Ham United in a deal worth up to \u00a340million.<\/p>\n

But fellow left-back Keane Lewis-Potter will be hoping to keep his place in the starting line-up after netting the opening goal against Tottenham.<\/p>\n

Michael Kayode, Kristoffer Ajer and Nathan Collins will make up the rest of the back four, with Sepp van den Berg currently dealing with a groin injury.<\/p>\n

Club-record signing Mamadou Sangare produced a Man of the Match performance against Tottenham and is part of a midfield three alongside Vitaly Janelt and Mathias Jensen.<\/p>\n

Despite missing a penalty against Spurs, Igor Thiago will continue to spearhead the attack, supported by Dango Ouattara and Kevin Schade.<\/p>\n

Yehor Yarmolyuk should be available despite limping off the pitch against Birmingham City, but Antoni Milambo remains sidelined after suffering a season-ending ACL injury on international duty in October last year.<\/p>\n

Leeds v Brentford odds<\/p>\n

Leeds are\u00a033\/20 to win in front of their home fans and make it six points out of six from their first two Premier League games.<\/p>\n

Brentford are 9\/5 to take all three points back to London, while the draw is 5\/2.<\/p>\n

Leeds v Brentford prediction<\/p>\n

Four of the six Premier League meetings between Leeds and Brentford have been drawn, and each of the last three have finished level, with the last two ending 0-0.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re expecting another low-scoring game between these sides, and under 2.5 goals is available at 10\/11.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s too much quality on the pitch for this to be another goalless stalemate, so we\u2019re backing a\u00a0score draw at 7\/2.<\/p>\n

Harry Wilson has scored four Premier League goals against Brentford, which is his joint-most against any single opponent in the competition.<\/p>\n

He also netted three goals against them in the Championship during a loan spell at Derby County in 2018\/19. The Wales international is 3\/1 to mark his home debut with yet another goal against the Bees.<\/p>\n

Igor Thiago put his missed penalty behind him and came off the bench to score in the Carabao Cup win over Birmingham City.<\/p>\n

Only Erling Haaland netted more Premier League away goals than the Brazil international last season, and he is 17\/10 to score anytime against Leeds.<\/p>\n
