Here is how we predict Leeds United will line up against Brentford at the weekend:
Leeds united travel to Griffin Park on Saturday to take on Brentford in their latest Championship clash, and the Whites are in desperate need of a victory to ease the pressure on manager Thomas Christiansen.
While Leeds can bemoan some bizarre refereeing decisions in their recent defeat to Derby County, that loss was their third on the bounce in all competitions and the 3-0 win over Bristol City prior to that appears to be a blip rather than a return to form.
Leeds were top of the table just a few short weeks ago but they are now down in seventh place, nine points behind current leaders Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The major summer overhaul at Elland Road looked to have given Leeds the squad capable of securing promotion this season but, as things stand, they could struggle to even finish in the top six.
Christiansen will know he needs to get his side on a run of victories before it is too late and they should be too strong for Brentford if they play to their full potential.
That said, previous defeats against the likes of Reading and Millwall have proved that some of these Leeds players lack fight and they will need to prove their doubters wrong not just this weekend but for months to come.
