Brentford will be at The King Power Stadium on Friday for their Premier League showdown with Leicester City, so let’s look at the latest injury news and predicted line ups.

Leicester City will be hoping for a better result after a 0-2 Premier League loss in their previous game against Arsenal. It seems likely that The Foxes could go for a 4-2-3-1 formation for this one, handing starts to Mads Hermansen, Woyo Coulibaly, Wout Faes, Caleb Okoli, Victor Kristiansen, Wilfred Ndidi, Boubakary Soumaré, Jordan Ayew, Bilal El Khannouss, Bobby Reid and Jamie Vardy.

James Justin, Ricardo Pereira, Issahaku Fatawu and Harry Souttar are not available for Leicester manager Ruud van Nistelrooy.

How Leicester City might line up to play Brentford

Brentford will come into the clash following a 0-1 Premier League win in the defeat of West Ham United in their most recent game. We are inclined to think that The Bees could decide to elect for a 4-2-3-1 lineup, going with Mark Flekken, Kristoffer Ajer, Nathan Collins, Sepp van den Berg, Keane Lewis-Potter, Vitaly Janelt, Christian Nørgaard, Bryan Mbeumo, Mikkel Damsgaard, Kevin Schade and Yoane Wissa.

Brentford boss Thomas Frank has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Gustavo Nunes (Back injury), Sepp van den Berg (Knee problems), Rico Henry (Hamstring injury), Josh Dasilva (Knee surgery), Aaron Hickey (Fitness) and Igor Thiago (Knee injury) will miss out on this game.
