Leicester City vs Brentford Prediction
Leicester City have their work cut out for themselves this season and have largely failed to adapt to the rigors of the top flight. The hosts have been shockingly poor at the King Power Stadium and have a point to prove this week.
Brentford pulled off a convincing victory in the reverse fixture but have issues of their own to address ahead of this game. The Bees are in better shape, however, and should be able to win this game.
