The Bees travel to Leeds for a Sunday afternoon match. Both teams have started the season well with wins in the league and the League Cup.
Recent history
Brentford and Leeds drew both of their head-to-head matches last season, a scoreless draw at Elland Road in March and a 1-1 draw in Brentford back in December 2025. The matches were the first (and only) times that Keith Andrews and Daniel Farke have coached against each other.
The last Bee to score at Elland Road was Sergi Canos on December 5, 2021.
Match week 2 for the Bees
Brentford have generally done pretty well in their second league matches during their Premier League era, winning three times out of five, with a draw. The 4-0 win at home against Manchester United will long be a fan favourite. Last season's 1-0 win against Aston Villa was much tighter.

Final new arrival?
The Bees announced the signing of defender Malick Diouf from West Ham this week. Diouf started 30 games for the Hammers last season and added five assists, including one of Callum Wilson's first goal of the season. It's not clear if he was registered in time to play against Leeds or not. With only a few days left in the transfer window, are the Bees done bringing in new players? Maybe? Andrews, of course, didn't give away much during his press conference, though he did suggest that a few players may be going out on loan.
##Â Squad selection headaches for Andrews The Bees won convincingly during the week at Birmingham City, 6-1. Andrews went with 8 different starters compared to the Spurs match last weekend, retaining only Nathan Collins, Vitaly Janelt and Dango Ouattara. With so many strong performances all around the pitch, Andrews may have a tough time deciding which eleven will start against Leeds.
