Leicester have been involved in the transfer window, but not in the way their fans would like. Longstanding skipper Kasper Schmeichel has departed after 11 years, while Youri Tielemans, James Maddison and Wesley Fofana are all in demand from others and may yet leave. The Foxes are the only Premier League team not to make a signing so far this transfer window.
Brentford have brought in a mix of youth experience. They paid more than £17 million for 21-year-old Keane Lewis-Potter from Hull and over £14 million for 20-year-old Aaron Hickey from Bologna. Ben Mee, aged 32, has joined on a free transfer after leaving Burnley. Christian Eriksen, who contributed hugely to the Bees staying up last season, did not renew his contract and has joined Manchester United.
Both these teams boast a good opening-day record. Brentford have won their first fixture four of the last six times they’ve been in the top tier of English football. Leicester have won their last two opening Premier League matches. They also won both the fixtures between these two teams last year.
Can they claim three points again, or will Thomas Frank’s team return to London with valuable points? Find out by watching the Leicester City vs Brentford live stream.
