Leeds United come into this one with a spring in their step after that thumping 4-0 friendly win over Augsburg at Elland Road. Goals flow, confidence is high, and the home crowd will be roaring. But let's not get carried away — that was a friendly, and the real test starts now. The Whites showed grit in their recent Premier League opener at Nottingham Forest, where Anton Levi Stach scored the winner and Ethan Ampadu pulled the strings in midfield. Those two look set to keep their places, and that continuity matters. Leeds have injury worries though: Gabriel Gudmundsson, Willy Gnonto and goalkeeper Lucas Perri are all sidelined, with Ilia Gruev a doubt. That's a chunk of quality missing, especially out wide and at the back.

Brentford, meanwhile, are flying. Seven past Eintracht Frankfurt in preseason — that's a statement. They followed it up with a 3-0 win over Tottenham, with Vitaly Janelt and Michael Kayode both on the scoresheet. The Bees look sharp, organised and dangerous. They'll be missing Antoni Milambo and Sepp van den Berg through injury, but this squad has depth. Thomas Frank's side are never easy to break down, and they travel with real belief. Recent form says both teams are in decent nick, but Brentford's attacking output has been eye-catching. Leeds at home though — Elland Road is a fortress, and that 4-0 win will have them believing they can outscore anyone.
