The Premier League returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Brentford lock horns with Jesse Marsch’s Leeds United side in an important clash at Elland Road on Sunday. Brentford are currently in eighth place in the Premier League standings and have exceeded expectations so far this season. The Bees eased past Bournemouth by a comfortable 2-0 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
Leeds United, on the other hand, are in 14th place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best this season. The home side thrashed Cardiff City by a 5-2 scoreline last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
