Tip: Ben Mee to score at any time @ 10/1 with Betfred Toney goal on the cards The #PickYourPunt for Sunday’s game is a two-pronged effort, beginning with the selection of Ivan Toney to score at any time and, in the process, take his league tally to 14 for the season. Only Erling Haaland and Harry Kane have scored more than the Brentford striker this season and he heads to Elland Road in good form, having netted in the 2-0 victory over Bournemouth last time out. Toney grabbed a hat-trick in the 5-2 thrashing of Leeds in September and it would be no surprise to see him continue what has been a fine scoring campaign.
Betting tips for Leeds United vs Brentford: Premier League preview and oddsTwo sides in differing form do battle in the Premier League at Elland Road on Sunday (2pm kick-off), when relegation-threatened Leeds United play host to surprise European hopefuls Brentford. Leeds have not tasted victory in the top flight since the start of November, a dismal run that has left them in a battle to beat the drop, while the Bees haven’t lost in the league since October and are in with an outside chance of a top-six finish. Sunday’s meeting has the makings of an entertaining affair, –especially given that the Bees won 5-2 at the Gtech Community Stadium in September – and it is a match that the Bees will be confident of claiming the spoils in.

Bees at the double Not since 2014-15 have Brentford completed a league double over Leeds United, those victories coming in the Championship. But the Bees look more than capable of adding to their 5-2 thumping of the Whites back in September. Since that defeat by Thomas Frank’s men, Leeds have only managed to pick up two victories in 12 top-flight games and they head into Sunday's encounter on a five-match winless run in the league. It has been a completely different story for Brentford and they arrive in West Yorkshire with just one defeat from their previous 10 league assignments, while they are searching for their fourth straight top-flight win after triumphs over West Ham, Liverpool and Bournemouth.

5 goals, while the same bet has landed in 11 of Brentford's 19 top-flight encounters. Tip: Brentford to win and over 2. 5 goals @ 3/1 with Betfred Mee set to take advantage As mentioned, defence has been an area of concern for Leeds and their tally of 33 goals conceded is eclipsed only by Nottingham Forest (34), Southampton (34) and Bournemouth (41). The Whites need to find a way to plug the gaps at the back but that is unlikely to happen against Brentford, who have netted 32 times in the top flight – the joint-seventh best record in the division. Leeds have particularly struggled to defend set pieces, conceding six from these situations, and those frailties can be exposed by Bees centre-back Ben Mee, who has netted twice in the league this term. The former Burnley defender is a handful from corners and free-kicks and Brentford have thrived in these attacking scenarios, having scored eight times from set-pieces to sit behind only Tottenham Hotspur, Fulham and Liverpool in that department.
The Bees’ away form has also picked up. They are unbeaten in their previous three league outings on the road and they look ready to add to the home woes of a struggling Leeds side. Jesse Marsch’s troops have only picked up one league victory at Elland Road in their last seven attempts – that was a 4-3 over Bournemouth – although they did thump Cardiff 5-2 at home in an FA Cup third-round replay in midweek. Keeping clean sheets has been an issue for the Whites, as they have managed just two shutouts on home turf across all competitions this season, while they have seen their defence breached 14 times in their last six competitive games at home. No fewer than 12 of Leeds’ 18 league games this season have produced over 2.
