Brentford have won just one of their four Premier League games against Leeds (D2 L1), beating them 5-2 at home in September 2022.
Leeds have won just one of their last 12 away league games against Brentford (D4 L7), beating them 2-1 on the final day of the 2021-22 campaign to preserve their Premier League status.
Leeds have lost their last nine Premier League games in London, with their last victory coming at Brentford in May 2022. It’s their second longest losing run in the capital in the top-flight, after a 12-game streak between March 1925 and September 1930.
Brentford have lost their last two Premier League games, losing 2-0 to both Arsenal and Tottenham. The Bees haven’t lost three in a row since February 2024, while they’ve never gone three in a row without scoring in the competition.
Leeds have netted three goals in each of their last two Premier League matches (3-1 v Chelsea, 3-3 v Liverpool), as many times as they’d done so in their previous 37 combined. The last time the Whites scored 3+ goals in three top-flight games in a row was in December 2001.
In their last two Premier League matches, Leeds have started in a 3-5-2 formation, avoiding defeat in both (W1 D1). Brentford have played seven games in the competition against sides starting in that formation, failing to win any of their first five (D1 L4) but winning their last two in April and August 2024 against Sheffield United and Southampton respectively.
Leeds have conceded five goals in the five minutes of games after half-time in the Premier League this season, more than any other side. It’s only the third time they’ve conceded that many goals in that timeframe in a single season, also doing so in 2002-03 (5) and 2003-04 (6).
Leeds have lost their last eight Premier League matches played on Sundays, conceding 24 goals, including two defeats this season to Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa. No team in Premier League history has lost nine Sunday games in a row.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has scored in three consecutive Premier League appearances for Leeds, only once having a longer scoring streak in the competition – he scored in his first five games in the 2020-21 season for Everton. The only Englishmen to score in four in a row in the competition for the Whites are Rod Wallace (five in November/December 1993) and Michael Bridges (two runs of four in 1999-00).
Brentford’s Igor Thiago has scored seven goals in his last five home Premier League appearances, scoring a penalty in each of his last three. Only two players have scored a penalty in four home games in a row: Dion Dublin in 1997-98 for Coventry and James Beattie in 2002 for Southampton.
