Leeds United 0-0 Brentford highlights: Rutter made to wait for debut as Whites held by Thomas Frank's side
and live on Freeview channel 276
The Whites are without a win in five Premier League matches and will be keen to get their own back on Brentford, who defeated Jesse Marsch’s side 5-2 earlier this season in west London. Marsch was sent off in that fixture, deemed to have remonstrated too vigorously with the referee, and has not incurred a touchline suspension since, but remains an animated character on the sidelines at Elland Road.
Today’s opponents are in fine form having beaten Liverpool and AFC Bournemouth since the turn of the year, while Leeds are still in search of their first three points of 2023. The Bees can put pressure on teams above them, as they eye a spot in the European qualification places, while United will look to distance themselves from the foot of the table.

Leeds United 0-0 Brentford LIVE
Inches from getting a toe on it
59' Rodrigo with a lovely weighted through-ball for Gnonto who blisters through the middle like a locomotive. Raya, again, proactive with his defending, comes out to clear the danger.
Parried
57' Rodrigo with a thunderous left-footer from the edge of the box which Raya pushes to one side. Gnonto fouls his man in attempting to pick up the rebound.
55' Big handball appeal from the Kop as Pinnock blocks Wober's effort. Arm is in a natural position, never getting given. Might even hit him in the midriff.
On target
54' Aaronson shoots with his right foot from 25 yards. Good power behind it, but so is Raya.
Double-act
51' Well-worked move between Ayling and Rodrigo, ending with the Spaniard trying to work a low cross into the six-yard box. Cut out in the end but clever from the pair of them.
