Leicester will be back in Premier League action on Saturday just days after announcing the sacking of Steve Cooper.
It is unlikely that a replacement would have been named before their trip to the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday. The Foxes come into the weekend after losing three of their last four.
Brentford continue to tick along nicely in the top-flight this season, as they have won two of their last four.
They have gone two without defeat in the league, and a second win in three could lift them to within two points of the top five.
Odds
Brentford will be hard to ignore on the moneyline this weekend, and it is perhaps a little surprising that they aren’t shorter than -145. A Leicester win is available at +385.

Brentford vs. Leicester Prediction
Brentford’s poor record is noted this week, but their form this season has been superior to that of Leicester’s.
The Bees have been especially dominant in home matches. I am somewhat surprised to see their price for this weekend’s clash, and at the odds, they could be difficult to bet against when they take on managerless Leicester.
