Prediction: 1-1
Leicester
Brentford and Leicester City face each other in a highly-anticipated game at Brentford Community Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The Bees are determined to return to the Premier League, but they have big ambitions for the FA Cup campaign as well. Brentford defeated Middlesbrough in the previous FA Cup round, and seeing that they are tough to beat at home, Thomas Frank’s troops are surely capable of matching the Foxes at their Brentford Community Stadium.
Leicester City rolled over Stoke City 4-0 in their FA Cup opener, but beating the Bees on the road is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the horizon, and we are tempted to put our money on draw. Midfielder Dennis Praet is out of contention through injury, while Nampalys Mendy is a major doubt, and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
