Match Preview: Leeds United v Brentford

Match Preview: Leeds United v Brentford Brentford take on Leeds United at Elland Road in the Premier League on Saturday (8pm kick-off GMT), live on Sky Sports. The Bees have won seven of their last nine away league games, but travel to Yorkshire to face a difficult test under the lights against Daniel Farke's side. Analysis, team news, match officials and more.

Here's everything you need to know ahead of the game. Pre-match Analysis Stephen Gillett, Playmaker Stats: Set-pieces could prove decisive on Saturday night Brentford and Leeds' respective penalty records this season will be under the spotlight. Keith Andrews' side have had the mixed fortune of being awarded the most penalties (eight) in the top flight this term, while also having more spot-kicks (seven) given against them.

Penalty specialist Caoimhín Kelleher's prowess between the sticks has meant that only four of the seven penalties the Bees have conceded have been converted. The Irish stopper excelled in duels from 12 yards during his time at Liverpool, and his uncanny knack for reading penalty takers' intentions means he is currently the only goalkeeper to save multiple spot-kicks in the top tier this season. Leeds, meanwhile, have suffered more goals from penalties than any team in the division.

All six of the penalties conceded by the Whites have rippled the back of the net - and Brentford striker Igor Thiago will be hoping to add to the league-high six penalties he has already plundered this season. With eight games of the season remaining, both sides have plenty on the line. Currently 15th in the table, Daniel Farke's side will aim to buffer the three-point cushion that separates them from the relegation spots, while their visitors from west London will look to seize the day and cut the four-point gap to the Champions League places.
