Brentford vs Leeds United LIVE: Championship commentary stream, latest team news and build-up

Welcome to the Evening Standard's LIVE coverage of the Championship game between Brentford and Leeds United.

For what looks a crucial game in the promotion race, Thomas Frank's side know victory at Griffin Park this evening will send them above their visitors, possibly even into an automatic promotion place should results elsewhere go their way.

A desperate run of form has seen Leeds' 11-point cushion inside the top two evaporate, and they could find themselves as low as fifth by the time the full set of midweek fixtures have been played.

Leeds have won just twice in early December, including four losses in their last five games, sparking fears another collapse will spoil their Premier League dream like last season.
