Brentford will face the first game of the season on Sunday, as they play Leicester City. Thomas Frank will be hoping that his side can make a repeat of the good start his side made to lasts season’s campaign which saw them win at home to Arsenal.
The Bees have done some good business this window, with the addition of Ben Mee, Thomas Strakosha, Aaron Hickey and Keane Lewis-Potter so far this window. They have also been linked to the signature of Sampdoria’s Mikkel Damsgaard, who scored a stunning free-kick against England in the semi-final of Euro 2020 at Wembley.
Meanwhile, Leicester have not done any business so far this summer, with the potential exit of Youri Tielemans looking like what could be the catalyst for some summer deals at the King Power Stadium.
Tielemans was man of the match when Leicester beat Brentford last season in West London, the first of two 2-1 victories for the Foxes against the newly promoted side last season. However, with a summer of solid business behind them, the tables could well turn in favour of Frank’s side this season.
Here is how you can catch the action:

Comeback complete! Leicester give Dasilva all the time in the world to drive forward and he punishes Leicester by running across the defence and curling a lovely left footed shot into the far post.
