Brentford will be bidding to make it four Premier League home wins on the bounce when they go up against Leicester City at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Thomas Frank’s 10-man team had to roll up their sleeves to get out of Goodison Park with a 0-0 draw last weekend.
Somewhat surprisingly, that stalemate represented the Bees’ first Premier League point away from home this season.
Back at their West London base this weekend, Brentford will be seeking more home comfort when Leicester come calling.
Steve Cooper became the second manager to lose his job in the Premier League this season following the Foxes' 2-1 defeat to Chelsea last weekend, in a game that brought up two of my three recommended bets.
The King Power club – who will head to capital without a win in their last four league games – are reportedly set to announce Ruud van Nistelrooy as their new manager.
How the bookies view it: Bees to thwart Foxes
Brentford – who have won five of their six Premier League home games this season – are big favourites at 13/20 with Betano.
Despite avoiding defeat in two of their last three Premier League away games, a Leicester triumph is trading at 18/5 (Betano) while the draw is also considered unlikely at 3/1 (Betano).
Head to head: Another stalemate in store?
Each of the last two Premier League meetings between the pair have ended all square. It’s also worth noting that Leicester have avoided defeat in each of their previous four top-flight meetings with Brentford.
Players to watch: Mbeumo to make his mark?
I successfully backed Bryan Mbeumo to either score or assist in Brentford’s last home game and I’m more than happy to support the same selection on Saturday at 4/5 on UniBet. The Cameroon international has eight goals and one assist to his name in the Premier League this season.
Jordan Ayew scored his third Premier League goal of the season last weekend. The Foxes forward is 6/4 (Bet 365) to register a minimum of one shot on target on Saturday.
Predicted line-ups
Brentford will be able to call upon captain Christian Norgaard after the red card he received against Everton last weekend was rescinded on appeal.
Facundo Buonanotte is expected to come back into the Leicester side on Saturday after serving a one-game suspension, but Harry Winks is a doubt after hobbling off against Chelsea with a groin injury.
Brentford: Flekken; Van den Berg, Collins, Pinnock, Lewis-Potter; Norgaard, Janelt, Damsgaard; Mbeumo, Wissa, Damsgaard
Leicester: Hermansen; Justin, Faes, Okoli, Kristiansen; Soumare, Skipp; Ndidi; Buonanotte, Ayew; Vardy
Anything else catch the eye?
Wilfred Ndidi warrants support to commit two or more fouls on Saturday afternoon at even-money on PaddyPower.
The Foxes midfielder picked up his fourth yellow card in 12 Premier League outings this term against Chelsea last time out.
Ndidi committed four fouls against the Blues last week, not to mention he has been guilty of multiple offences in three of Leicester’s six Premier League away games this season so far.
