Premier League pundits predict Leeds United are in for a tough test when they travel to face Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium later today.
The Whites have drawn and lost their last two games against Everton and Brighton respectively following a strong start.
Last time Leeds faced off against the Bees, Jesse Marsch's side recorded a dramatic 2-1 to help them retain their Premier League status on the final day of the season.

However, pundits Paul Merson, Chris Sutton and Mark Lawrenson all believe Leeds will be in for a challenging afternoon in west London when they take on Thomas Frank's men.
Here's how they believe the game will go...
Paul Merson
Speaking to Sportskeeda, Merson said: "Leeds are in a bit of a sticky patch with their last two games. I didn't like what the manager said after the Brighton game.
"I think they got slaughtered by Brighton on the day, and the scoreline papered over the cracks.
"Brentford are a bit up and down at the moment, and there's not a lot to separate these two teams. Brentford have shown promise, however, and I will back them to win this game."
Prediction: Brentford 2-1 Leeds United
Chris Sutton
"Leeds beat Brentford at the end of last season as they avoided relegation to the Championship," Sutton said in his BBC Sport Premier League predictions column.
"Brentford have started this season well and they came back again against Crystal Palace to draw late. The Bees will be absolutely fine in terms of Premier League status because they are streetwise and resilient, and they will cause Leeds one or two problems.
"Jesse Marsch has gone in and assessed the playing squad at Leeds. Dan James joined Fulham on deadline day and he might be a bit of a loss for them so you maybe worry about the strength in depth a bit but they got some good early signings in and they've had a decent start. I can see this one ending in a draw."
Prediction: Brentford 1-1 Leeds United
Mark Lawrenson
"Leeds have struggled a bit the last couple of games and Rodrigo’s now out for a while with that injured shoulder," Lawrenson told Paddy Power.
That’s a big blow for them. Brentford are still working their way into the season but I think they’ll win, just.
Prediction: Brentford 2-1 Leeds United
