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

Brentford will be looking to bounce back from their recent away losses against Tottenham and Arsenal. With a strong home record, having won their last two home matches against Burnley and Newcastle, they'll be confident in front of their fans. The predicted 4-2-3-1 formation should allow them to control the midfield and create chances for Thiago up front.

Leeds, on the other hand, have had mixed results recently, with a draw against Liverpool and a win against Chelsea at home, but losses in their away games. Their 3-5-2 formation could pose problems for Brentford's defence, especially with the pace of Calvert-Lewin and Okafor up top. However, their away form suggests they might struggle to get a result here.

Brentford have had a challenging run of late, losing their last two away games against Tottenham and Arsenal, both by a score of 0-2. However, their home form has been much stronger, with convincing wins against Burnley and Newcastle, both by 3-1. This should give them confidence going into this match, as they look to build on their recent home success.

• Loss: 0-2 vs Arsenal (A)
• Win: 3-1 vs Burnley (H)
• Loss: 1-2 vs Brighton (A)
• Win: 3-1 vs Newcastle (H)

Leeds have shown resilience at home, drawing with Liverpool and beating Chelsea, both by narrow margins. However, their away form has been less impressive, losing their last three away games against Manchester City, Aston Villa, and Nottingham Forest. This pattern suggests they might find it tough to get a positive result at Brentford's ground.

• Draw: 3-3 vs Liverpool (H)
• Win: 3-1 vs Chelsea (H)
• Loss: 2-3 vs Manchester City (A)

The head-to-head record between Brentford and Leeds has been close, with the last five clashes ending in three draws, one victory for Brentford, and one Leeds win. The last meeting ended in a 0-0 draw, with Brentford securing a convincing 5-2 win in their previous encounter. The recent meetings between the two sides illustrate that they are capable of scoring goals, but also of keeping things tight at the back.

• Predicted lineup: Kelleher (GK), Kayode (DF), Collins (DF), Van den Berg (DF), Ajer (DF), Henderson (MF), Yarmolyuk (MF), Ouattara (MF), Damsgaard (MF), Schade (MF), Thiago (AT)

Brentford's predicted 4-2-3-1 formation should allow them to maintain a solid defensive structure while providing options in attack. The midfield trio of Ouattara, Damsgaard, and Schade will be key in linking play and supporting Thiago up front.

• Predicted lineup: Perri (GK), Rodon (DF), Bijol (DF), Struijk (DF), Bogle (MF), Stach (MF), Ampadu (MF), Gruev (MF), Gudmundsson (MF), Calvert-Lewin (AT), Okafor (AT)

Leeds are expected to line up in a 3-5-2 formation, which should give them a strong defensive base while allowing their wing-backs to push forward. The two attackers, Calvert-Lewin and Okafor, will be crucial in exploiting any gaps in Brentford's defence.

• Thiago vs Bijol: Thiago's movement and finishing will be tested against Bijol's defensive solidity.
• Damsgaard vs Ampadu: Damsgaard's creativity in midfield will face a stern test from Ampadu's tenacity.
• Schade (Brentford): Schade's versatility in midfield will be vital for Brentford's attacking transitions.
• Bogle (Leeds): Bogle's ability to push forward from midfield could be key for Leeds' attacking threat.
