Brentford head coach Keith Andrews has made four changes to his starting XI for Sunday afternoon’s Premier League meeting with Leeds United at the Gtech Community Stadium, a 4.30pm GMT kick-off live on Sky Sports.

The Bees are aiming to extend their strong home form against a Leeds side rejuvenated under Daniel Farke, having impressed in recent fixtures against Chelsea and Liverpool.

Aaron Hickey, Vitaly Janelt, Mathias Jensen and Keane Lewis-Potter all return to the starting line-up, replacing Kristoffer Ajer, Yehor Yarmoliuk, Mikkel Damsgaard and Kevin Schade. While Ajer, Yarmoliuk and Damsgaard drop to the bench, Schade is unavailable due to suspension.

There is also a welcome boost on the bench, with Myles Peart-Harris named in a matchday squad for the first time since August.

Brentford will line up in a 4-3-3 formation, with Caoimhín Kelleher in goal behind a back four of Kayode, van den Berg, Collins and Hickey. The midfield trio features Henderson, Janelt and Jensen, while Ouattara, Thiago and Lewis-Potter lead the attack.

Leeds United, meanwhile, set up in a 5-3-2 system. Illan Meslier starts in goal, protected by a back five of Bogle, Struijk, Rodon, Bijol and Gudmundsson. Tanaka, Ampadu and Stach make up the midfield, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin partnered by Noah Okafor up front.

Both sides name strong benches as they prepare for a key contest in the Premier League run-in, with Brentford looking to make home advantage count and Leeds keen to build on their recent resurgence.
