Follow live coverage as Brentford face Leicester City in the Premier League today.

Brentford are chasing a European spot and sit seventh in the table after winning two of their last three. Leicester have suffered four straight defeats and dropped to 16th, only out of the relegation zone on goal difference.

Brendan Rodgers has blamed mistakes and lacking concentration for the Foxes’ fall and without a response here they could end the day in the bottom three.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Rodgers makes four changes from their defeat to Chelsea last time out, and the big news is that Ward drops to the bench, with Iversen making his first Premier League start in his place between the sticks. Ndidi, Tete and Barnes also come in, as they also switch to a back four. Mendy and Iheanacho are named as substitutes, while Wout Faes is serving a one-match suspension.
