Leeds United is set to face Brentford in London on Sunday, feeling confident. The team has collected four points from recent challenging matches against Chelsea and Liverpool.
They also found the net six times in these two games, pushing them up to 16th place in the standings. However, Leeds needs to tackle some mental barriers for this match.
They haven’t won in their last nine Premier League outings in London and lost the last eight league games played on a Sunday. Manager Daniel Farke will expect a strong showing to break these trends and maintain their positive momentum.
Farke has confirmed that striker Lukas Nmecha is still unavailable due to ongoing symptoms. Sean Longstaff and Dan James are also out with calf and hamstring injuries, respectively.
As a result, the manager is likely to continue with the 3-5-2 formation. Dominic Calvert-Lewin will be at the forefront of the attack, having impressed with goals in three straight games against top teams. He is expected to be partnered by Noah Okafor. The defense should remain consistent with Joe Rodon, Jaka Bijol, and Pascal Struijk, who all performed well recently.
Leeds United predicted XI: Perri; Bogle, Rodon, Bijol, Struijk, Gudmundsson; Stach, Ampadu, Tanaka; Calvert-Lewin, Okafor
The Premier League match at the Gtech Community Stadium is on Sunday, 14 December 2025, with kick-off set for 16:30 GMT.
Viewers in the UK can watch the match live on Sky Sports, with coverage beginning at 16:00 GMT.
