The Premier League clash at King Power Stadium this coming Sunday sees home team Leicester City battling it out for the win against Brentford.

Leicester City finished last season as number 8 on 52 points in the Premier League. At King Power Stadium, they welcome Brentford, who ended up last season as number 13 on 46 points.

The match on Sunday has all the makings of a tight battle as Leicester City and Brentford look to bag a crucial three points in the process.

Leicester City scored 19 times, conceded 12 and held on for two clean sheets in their last ten games.

Brentford scored 18 goals, conceded 11 and kept their opponents from scoring four times in their last ten matches.

Leicester City vs Brentford Preview

Leicester City claimed four wins in their last six Premier League matches at the King Power Stadium. They came through these games with a record of one draw and one defeat, in which they conceded five and scored 12 goals.

In a season where everything runs absolutely smoothly Leicester City might be able to surprise. However, a finish inside the top half of the Premier League looks the most realistic scenario.

Brentford recorded a very decent outcome of four wins from six away matches in the Premier League, in which they banged in 13 goals, whilst conceding ten. They recorded no draws but in stead suffered defeat twice.

The target is set for Brentford whose aim is to stay above the relegation line in the coming season in the Premier League.

Leicester City are scoring freely these days, Brentford are doing just fine in that department as well, and we expect a match with plenty of goalsthis coming Sunday.
