Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United will face Brentford in the Championship this evening.
Leeds United will be looking to bounce back from their defeat to Wigan Athletic with victory over Brentford away from home at Griffin Park in the Championship this evening.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side suffered a shock 2-1 loss at the hands of Wigan at Elland Road in the Championship last Friday afternoon.
The loss saw the Whites drop down to third from second in the league table, but level on points with second-placed Sheffield United.
Leeds are still very much in the race for automatic promotion to the Premier League, but the Whites will have to pick up maximum points against Brentford this evening.
This is how Leeds will line up against Brentford in the Championship this evening:
Meanwhile, former West Ham United and Norwich City striker Tony Cottee believes that Leeds fans will be a problem.
Leeds have some of the best fans in the country, and pressure of the players from the Elland Road faithful is quite huge, especially now that the team are so close to clinching automatic promotion to the Premier League.
Cottee said on Sky Sports News on Monday afternoon (2:10pm, April 22, 2019): “I am just wondering if their biggest asset is going to be their biggest problem. Their biggest asset is their fans.”
