- Leicester: L-L-L-W-L. Jamie Vardy remains crucial, but hasn't scored in his four previous games against Brentford. Injuries to Pereira and Fatawu further weaken the squad.
- Brentford: W-L-W-L-D. Kevin Schade has scored in each of Brentford's last three away wins. Bryan Mbeumo has 12 goal involvements in his last nine games against promoted sides. Damsgaard is also a key creator with 8 assists. Hickey, Henry, Dasilva, and Van den Berg are out injured.

Brentford's strong away form and Leicester's defensive vulnerabilities point towards an away win. Expect goals from both sides, with Schade and Mbeumo key to Brentford's attack. All eyes will be on whether Leicester's defense can contain Brentford's dynamic forwards.
