Leicester City vs Brentford LIVE: All the build-up and line-ups as Ruud van Nistelrooy seeks a first home win in the Premier League since December 3

For Brentford, the assignment tonight is about pouring renewed life into their European hopes.

They’ve fallen off a bit recently, though not through any grave error of their own.

The Bees have taken 10 points from their last six games, but are still only 11th and seven points off seventh-placed Newcastle, five off Fulham in eighth.

But a win here will see them leapfrog Brighton and enter the top half, so there is still plenty to be optimistic about.
