Brentford will host Leeds United at Gtech Community Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday. The hosts have six wins from 15 league games, two more than Leeds, and have a four-point lead over them in the league table.
The Bees have suffered back-to-back 2-0 league defeats this month, losing first away to league leaders Arsenal in midweek, and then to Tottenham Hotspur last Saturday.
The visitors, meanwhile, are unbeaten in their two games in December. They defeated Chelsea 3-1 earlier this month and were held to a 3-3 draw by Liverpool last week. All six goals were scored in the second half of that match.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored Leeds' first goal in the 73rd minute, while Anton Stach added the second one two minutes later, leveling the score. Dominik Szoboszlai restored Liverpool's lead in the 80th minute, and Ao Tanaka bagged a stoppage-time equalizer.
