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.

When Graham met Georgi
A potential debut for club-record signing Georginio Rutter today. Here’s what happened when YEP chief football writer Graham Smyth met the striker on Friday.
Angus Kinnear
Rutter’s arrival will mean that we will be looking to make some outbound loans before the end of the transfer window. We believe that being more active in loaning out our emerging talent will be important in ultimately accelerating their ability to contribute to our first team.
Welcome to Elland Road
For the second time this week, we’re back to Elland Road for live football. Leeds were in excellent form on Wednesday, seeing off Championship strugglers Cardiff in the FA Cup Third Round. That’s set up a tie with Accrington Stanley or Boreham Wood next weekend.
But first, the visit of Brentford. Thomas Frank’s side can move into the European qualification places with a win today and will be extremely motivated to do so.
Stay with us throughout the afternoon for all the action.
