Brentford will look to continue their positive away form when they head to King Power Stadium to take on Leicester City.

While Leicester are currently on a tough run of five successive home defeats in which they have conceded 11 goals and scored zero – Ruud van Nistelrooy's outfit will be desperate to change that.

The numbers don't look good for Leicester right now, and their goal struggles are not helped by them having the fewest shots on target (72) in the Premier League this season. They are also the only team yet to score a goal on the counter attack.

But, of course, the Foxes aren't to be underestimated despite their form in recent weeks. Denmark international full-back Victor Kristiansen ranks fifth for crosses into the area (16), something the Brentford backline will need to be ready to repel.

Kristiansen also ranks sixth in the top flight for combined tackles and interceptions (98) and eighth for dribblers tackled (35).

James Justin is another defender who has as many interceptions (33) as Christian Nørgaard but is unlikely to feature having being taken off in the first half of Saturday's defeat to Arsenal.

Going forward, Jordan Ayew is one of the league's most fouled players (41 times) and could be handy at winning set-piece situations for Leicester while Bilal El Khannouss ranks eighth for successful take-on percentage (68.8 per cent).

Then there is the perennial nuisance of Jamie Vardy. The veteran striker is his team's top scorer in the league this season with seven in total and assisted Facundo Buonanotte's goal the last time the two sides met at Gtech Community Stadium.

Buonanotte is joint-fifth for tackles in the attacking third (behind Mikkel Damsgaard who is joint-top), which is something the west Londoners will need to be cautious of, although the Argentinian has not been a regular performer in recent weeks.

Of course, in that first game between these sides earlier this season, Brentford roared back after going behind to win 4-1. Kevin Schade scored a hat-trick that day and the German was on target once again with the winner against West Ham United last time out.

Considering these two teams' contrasting form going into this game, he will be eyeing another away goal this weekend.
