They\u2019re in another relegation battle as things stand, though the situation looks healthier after a fine week in which they took four points from games at home to Chelsea and Leeds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Brentford have adjusted pretty well to life after Thomas Frank, Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa. Crucially, their home form has been superb: five wins from seven, with only a single defeat to Manchester City. Leeds, whose away record is almost a mirror image*, have their work cut out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Kick off 4.30pm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">* P7 W1 D0 L6.
