Ryan Bertrand remains out with a knee injury which required surgery. Ricardo Pereira is also ruled out after suffering a ruptured Achilles. Danny Ward is set to start following Kasper Schmeichel's departure. Keane Lewis-Potter is set to make his Premier League debut for the Bee's following his transfer from Hull City. Aaron Hickey also looks set to start. Ethan Pinnock and Kristoffer Ajer are ruled out. Sergi Canos could play some part coming off the bench, but is unlikely to start.
There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Brentford's last 7 away games (Premier League). Leicester have won their last 4 matches against Brentford in all competitions. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 5 of Leicester's last 6 home games (Premier League). Leicester have seen over 2.5 goals in their last 3 matches against Brentford in all competitions. Leicester have scored at least 2 goals in their last 3 matches against Brentford in all competitions.
Leicester City, who are yet to sign a player this transfer window, could lose some more players by the closure of the window, with James Maddison and Wesley Fofana linked with moves away from the club. The lack of European competitions may benefit the Foxes though, as injuries to key players hampered them throughout last season. Leicester will be looking to return to European competition next season. Brentford's second season in the Premier League, after their stable campaign last season, will start without their crafty Danish playmaker from last season, Christian Eriksen, as he completed a move to Manchester United. New signings Aaron Hickey and Keane Lewis-Potter will be keen to impress for the West London side. They will be keen to avoid a second season syndrome, and will aim to take all three points from the King Power Stadium on Sunday. With Leicester having the better team on paper, and also having the home advantage, it all heads towards a close win without a clean sheet for the Foxes. 2:1
