• Fixture: Brentford vs Leeds
• Date: Sunday, 14 December 2025
• Kick-off: 16:30 GMT
• Venue: Brentford Community Stadium

Brentford's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster, with two losses on the road but solid wins at home. They'll be looking to capitalise on their home advantage again, especially after a couple of tough away games. The predicted 4-2-3-1 formation should give them the balance they need to control the midfield and exploit the wings, with Thiago up top ready to pounce on any chances.

Leeds, on the other hand, have shown they can be a handful, drawing with Liverpool and beating Chelsea at home. However, their away form has been less convincing, which might be a concern heading into this match. With a 3-5-2 setup, they'll aim to be solid at the back while using the pace of Calvert-Lewin and Okafor to hit Brentford on the break. It could be a tight affair, but Brentford's home form might just edge it.

Brentford's recent form has been a mixed bag, with two losses away to Tottenham and Arsenal, but they've been solid at home, beating Burnley and Newcastle. The home wins should give them a boost of confidence going into this match, and they'll be keen to keep that momentum going. Their ability to bounce back from away defeats with strong home performances suggests they could be a tough nut to crack for Leeds.

Leeds have shown they can compete with the big boys, drawing with Liverpool and beating Chelsea at home. However, their away form has been less impressive, with losses to Manchester City, Aston Villa, and Nottingham Forest. They'll need to find a way to translate their home form to the road if they want to get a result against Brentford. The recent results suggest they might struggle away from home, but they've got the firepower to cause problems.

The head-to-head record between Brentford and Leeds has been closely contested, with the last five meetings resulting in three draws, one win for Brentford and one win for Leeds. The most recent encounter ended in a goalless draw, while Brentford had a convincing 5-2 victory in their previous home game against Leeds. This suggests that both teams can score goals, but also that they can be defensively solid when needed.

Leeds' 3-5-2 setup should provide a solid defensive base while allowing them to transition quickly into attack. They'll aim to use the width of the wing-backs to stretch Brentford's defence and create space for their forwards to exploit.

• Thiago vs Rodon: Thiago's pace and movement will test Rodon's defensive positioning and recovery speed.

• Ouattara vs Gudmundsson: Ouattara's creativity and dribbling skills will be up against Gudmundsson's energy and attacking threat.
