Leeds United can finally get a win over Keith Andrews in the Premier League this weekend. The Whites host Brentford in their first home game of the season this Sunday.
The last two meetings between the teams have ended in draws.
But this time around there is a lot of anticipation going into the game. Leeds have started their season with a bang; two wins out of two games, keeping clean sheets in each.
Brentford have also scored nine goals in their last two fixtures, both ending in victory.
Ahead of the game, Daniel Farke has been very cautious about the fixture; he spoke about stopping the ‘bulldozer’ that is Andrews’ side who have put three or more goals past both Spurs and Birmingham City.

Speaking ahead of Sunday’s game against Leeds United, Keith Andrews has also said that a result at Elland Road will not come easy.
He mentioned that any team that travels to West Yorkshire in the league has to ‘earn’ their result.
Brentford’s job this weekend could be made much more difficult, as new signing Malick Diouf could be ruled out. According to Andrews, he is yet to know if the club registered the player in time for him to be available on Sunday.

If the away side failed to get the necessary paperwork done for Diouf, he will not play against Leeds.
But Brentford have already recorded emphatic wins in their first games of the new season, so they will not miss him that much. The Senegalese left footer managed five assists with West Ham last year.

Leeds injury news ahead of Sunday’s game
Fortunately for Daniel Farke, all of Leeds’ new signings will be available to play on Sunday.
The Whites also have no new injury news after two games in the space of four days. They have been handed a huge boost as Farke confirmed that Willy Gnonto and Gabriel Gudmundsson would return to training.
Their status for the Brentford game will be decided before kick off.
Ilia Gruev remains the only Leeds player out; he recently returned to training following a long injury layoff.
Farke has mentioned that the club are in no rush to get the midfielder back into the first team, and will allow him to fully recover first.
