Leeds United take on Brentford in the Championship this evening.

Brentford starting line-up: Bentley; Clarke, Dean, Barbet, Henry; Yennaris, Woods; Jota, Sawyers, Canos; Vibe.

Brentford substitutes: Bonham, Jozefzoon, Hofmann, McCormack, Egan, Kerschbaumer, Field.

Leeds United starting line-up: Green; Ayling, Jansson, Bartley, Berardi; Bridcutt, Phillips; Barrow, Hernandez, Dallas; Wood.

Leeds United substitutes: Silvestri, Taylor, Vieira, O’Kane, Pedraza, Roofe, Doukara.

Leeds United will be looking to bounce back this evening as they travel to West London to take on Brentford at Griffin Park.

The Whites suffered a 1-0 defeat away at Reading on Saturday evening, meaning they slipped to fifth place in the Championship table as a result.

Tonight, Garry Monk will be hoping to get back to winning ways, and he has called upon Pontus Jansson tonight, after the Swede missed the last two games.

Jansson is joined in defence by Luke Ayling, Kyle Bartley and Gaetano Berardi, with the latter starting ahead of Charlie Taylor at left back, whilst Rob Green keeps his place in goal.

Liam Bridcutt and Kalvin Phillips start in midfield, with Ronaldo Vieira only on the bench, whilst Modou Barrow is handed a rare start out wide.

Pablo Hernandez and Stuart Dallas also start, with Chris Wood leading the line, leaving the likes of Marco Silvestri, Eunan O’Kane, Alfonso Pedraza, Kemar Roofe and Souleymane Doukara on the bench alongside Taylor and Vieira.

Meanwhile, Brentford enter the game having beaten Bristol City 2-0 over the weekend, and manager Dean Smith will be hoping for a strong end to the season.

The likes of Harlee Dean, Rico Henry, Ryan Wood, Romaine Sawyers and Lasse Vibe all start for the Bees, with Spaniards Sergi Canos and Jota providing creativity out wide.

Attacking options Florian Jozefzoon and Philipp Hofmann are both on the bench for Brentford, as is new Republic of Ireland international John Egan.
