Good afternoon and welcome to live coverage of Brentford's final Premier League clash of the season as they host Leeds United at Brentford Community Stadium.
The Bees will be hoping to sign off in style with victory, which could see them finish in the top half of the table providing West Ham beat Brighton this afternoon. Thomas Frank will be demanding that Brentford maintain their professionalism to get over the line with a strong performance and win, and with a bit of luck elsewhere, finish the season in the top half of the table.
However, their opponents arrive in West London in a do or die clash clash. Jesse Marsch's side have to win to stand a remote chance of survival, but if Burnley manage to match their result against Newcastle at Turf Moor, then the Yorkshire club will be relegated from the Premier League.
The thought of sending the Elland Road outfit down would send music to the ears of Brentford fans, given the taunts they received from Leeds back in 2020 when the Bees fell short in their promotion push. It's all to play for this afternoon.
Brentford reporter Uzzi Majid will be providing live coverage from TW8 in what is set to be a hectic afternoon.
