Leicester are without a win in three meetings with Brentford, despite winning nine of their ten previous encounters beforehand.
The Bees are therefore targeting a first league double over the Foxes since 1952/53, the last time they left Filbert Way victorious.
Leicester City vs Brentford Preview
Can Leicester City claim a priceless victory come Friday night? Last Saturday, the Foxes were beaten yet again, this time defeated 2-0 by Arsenal at home, both Gunners' goals coming in the final nine minutes. This means Ruud van Nistelrooy's side have now lost nine of their last ten Premier League matches, their sole victory during this period coming at Tottenham last month.
As a result, Leicester have now lost five successive Premier League home games, failing to score in each of them, conceding at least twice during all of these defeats It's now 75 days since they scored a league goal in front of their own supporters.
This has equalled the club record for most consecutive home league defeats, and another loss here would plunge Leicester further into trouble. A victory would catapult them out of the drop zone.
Brentford will make the 95-mile journey north full of confidence, having beaten West Ham at the London Stadium on Saturday. Kevin Schade's close-range tap-in inside four minutes was the only goal of the afternoon.
Thomas Frank's team failed to win any of their first eight Premier League away games this season. Since the start of 2025, they have won all three, previously defeating Southampton and Crystal Palace on the road.
These latest three points propelled the Bees up to 11th, currently boasting double Leicester's points tally, and they would move into the top half.
It's 72 years since Brentford last won in Leicester, but many will be backing them to change that fact at the King Power.

Leicester City Team News
Harry Souttar, Abdul Fatawu and Ricardo Pereira are sidelined long-term, while fellow-right-back James Justin suffered a foot injury against Arsenal so, if he's not fit to start, there will be a full-Premier League debut for January signing Woyo Coulibaly, who came on last Saturday.
Elsewhere, across the back-line, Jannik Vestergaard could return, after Caleb Okoli partnered Wout Faes against Arsenal, while Boubakary Soumaré will continue alongside Wilfried Ndidi at the base of midfield, chosen over Oliver Skipp and Harry Winks.
Leicester City predicted lineup vs Brentford: (4-2-3-1): Hermansen; Coulibaly, Vestergaard, Faes, Kristiansen; Ndidi, Soumaré, De Cordova-Reid, El Khannouss, J Ayew; Vardy.
Leicester City Players to Watch vs Brentford
This clash features two of the Premier League's busiest goalkeepers, with the fit-again Mads Hermansen having made, on average, four saves per game this season, a tally only bettered by Aaron Ramsdale and Mark Flekken, who will be up the other end of the pitch (minimum six appearances).
Brentford Team News
The Bees travel without Aaron Hickey, Rico Henry, Josh Dasilva, Gustavo Nunes and Igor Thiago. In better news, Ethan Pinnock did return off the bench against West Ham, his first outing since suffering a hamstring injury at Newcastle in mid-December, replacing Sepp van den Berg who picked a "minor knee injury", at the London Stadium, although Thomas Frank is optimistic he'll be available here.
That issue aside, Brentford are expected to name an unchanged lineup, featuring Kristoffer Ajer at right-back, chosen over January signing Michael Kayode, who is still yet to start, while weekend scorer Kevin Schade will continue to complete the front three.
Brentford predicted lineup vs Leicester City: (4-3-3): Flekken; Ajer, Pinnock, Collins, Lewis-Potter; Nørgaard, Janelt, Damsgaard; Mbeumo, Wissa, Schade.
