- Leicester are second bottom in the table
- Brentford are 11th in the standings
- Recommended bet: Brentford to win

Leicester City's dismal home form looks set to continue when Brentford visit on Friday evening in the Premier League.

The Foxes have lost their last five league games at the King Power Stadium without even mustering a single goal in response and it could be a familiar tale of woe for the side second bottom of the table against the dangerous Bees.

Team news

Leicester right-back James Justin picked up an injury against Arsenal and is a major doubt for Friday's game.

Ricardo Pereira and Abdul Fatawu are on the long-term absentee list for the Foxes.

Aaron Hickey, Josh Dasilva and Rico Henry remain out for the visitors, while Sepp van den Berg will be assessed ahead of the game after he was forced off in the second half against West Ham on Saturday.

The stats

Leicester have lost their last five home league games to nil against Wolves, Manchester City, Crystal Palace, Fulham and Arsenal.

Van Nistelrooy has won just three of his 14 games in charge since taking over at the King Power Stadium at the end of November, losing 10 times and drawing once.

Brentford have won their last three away games in the top flight — the first time they have achieved the feat in the Premier League — beating Southampton, Crystal Palace and West Ham.

The reverse game earlier in the season ended 4-1 to Brentford on November 30.

Jamie Vardy is the Foxes' leading scorer in the league this term with seven goals to his name.

Bryan Mbeumo is Brentford's top-scorer in the league this season with 14 goals.

Prediction

Leicester are in relegation form and even the most optimistic Foxes fan would struggle to suggest they will move clear of trouble between now and the end of the season.

Nine defeats in their last 10 games and a recent disastrous run at home means Van Nistelrooy's team look to be heading straight back to the Championship.

There is still time for them to turn their fortunes around but there has been precious few signs that they are capable of battling successfully against the drop and a home game against in-form travellers Brentford is not a welcome Friday night fixture.

Thomas Frank's team, who were outstanding at home in the first half of the season, have now become away-day specialists.

The Bees should comfortably pick up another victory as they seek a top-half finish this season, further damaging Leicester's increasingly desperate bid to avoid the drop in the process.
