 Five stats...
Hopes were high going to into this fixture last season following our late winner away to Huddersfield. However, Leeds were left frustrated as three penalty appeals were turned down before Alex Pritchard won the day for the visitors.

Head coach Uwe Rosler will come up against his former club on Saturday afternoon. His record as manager of Brentford reads P137, W60 D40 L37.

You have to go back to March 6 1954, to find the last time Leeds were victorious at home to the Bees in the league. On that day, they won 4-0 in the old Second Division thanks to a brace from John Charles and one each from Albert Nightingale and Harold Williams.

Today’s encounter will be the 31st time that the two sides have met. Leeds have won 11, Brentford have won nine and there has been 10 draws.

The last two encounters at Elland Road have seen the debuts of two Leeds players. Last season saw a first outing for on-loan striker Edgar Cani, plus the home debut of Sol Bamba. The previous home meeting between the two sides on March 6 2010 saw the debut of another striker, Paul Dickov.
