Brentford will have the chance to achieve a first-time feat when they welcome Leicester City to the Gtech Community Stadium for Saturday's Premier League contest.

The Bees were made to work hard to hold Everton to a goalless draw in last Saturday's Premier League outing at Goodison Park.

Brentford had to play the second half with ten men after Christian Norgaard was sent off in the 41st minute following a VAR review.

The Bees have since won an appeal to overturn Norgaard's red card, ensuring he will be available for Saturday's home fixture.

Brentford targeting first-time feat

Norgaard will hope to help his side create a piece of club history when Brentford play host to newly-promoted Leicester City.

Brentford have the chance to record four consecutive Premier League home wins for the very first time after taking maximum points from each of their previous three outings at the Gtech Community Stadium.

The Bees kicked off that run of home wins with a 5-3 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers, before Bryan Mbeumo netted a 96th-minute winner to seal a 4-3 win against Ipswich Town.

Thomas Frank's side produced another free-scoring display in their most recent home outing, with Yoane Wissa netting a brace in a 3-2 victory over Bournemouth earlier this month.

Those wins have helped Brentford rack up 16 points from five matches at the Gtech Community Stadium, leaving them with the best home record in the top flight.

Brentford's poor head-to-head record with Leicester

If they are to claim three points on Saturday, the Bees will have to beat Leicester for the first time in a Premier League match.

Brentford lost their first two Premier League games against the Foxes, before they played out draws in both of their head-to-head meetings during the 2022-23 season.

In fact, Brentford have failed to win any of their last eight league matches against Leicester since they recorded a 3-2 victory in the second tier in March 1953.

The Bees will hope to take advantage of a Leicester side that are without a permanent manager following the recent sacking of Steve Cooper.

Ruud van Nistelrooy is widely expected to become the new Leicester boss, but interim boss Ben Dawson will oversee first-team affairs for Saturday's trip to the capital.
