Leeds United will be looking to return to winning ways this evening when they take on Brentford away from home in the Championship.

The West Yorkshire outfit will head into the match at Griffin Park on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Derby County at Elland Road in the league.

The loss at the hands of the Rams combined with results elsewhere means that the Whites are outside the top six in the Championship table at the moment.

A Brentford fan wait for the turnstiles to open before the Sky Bet Championship match between Brentford and Leeds United at Griffin Park on November 4, 2017 in Brentford, England.

Leeds have a good team and made a strong start to the season, but their recent results and performances have been hugely disappointing.

Although Leeds have the same record after 15 Championship matches this season as they had in 2016-17, as reported by BBC Sport, the fans must be hugely frustrated with Thomas Christiansen’s side’s performances in recent weeks.

This is how Leeds will line up for the Championship match against Brentford this evening:

Curtis Davies of Derby scores the third goal the Sky Bet Championship match between Derby County and Hull City at iPro Stadium on September 8, 2017 in Derby, England.

Meanwhile, Derby defender Curtis Davies has admitted that the penalty decision that went his side’s way against Leeds at Elland Road on Tuesday evening was “dubious”.

Davies said on the Sky Sports Daily show on Sky Sports News on Wednesday morning (11:52am, November 1, 2017): “We went to Leeds, unfortunately we were 1-0 down, a bit of a slack first-half performance, came out in the second half and could have easily capitulated to a strong Leeds side, but we got ourselves back into the game and then late on we got, shall I say, a dubious penalty.”
