Brentford vs Leicester

Kevin Schade was only the fourth German to score a hat-trick in the Premier League, along with Jürgen Klinsmann (1998), Fredi Bobic (2002), and André Schürrle (2014). He was only the second player to do so for Brentford in the competition, after Ivan Toney (twice). Schade had just two goals in his first 41 Premier League appearances before today.

Brentford have won more of their seven Premier League home games this season (6) than they managed in the whole of last season in the competition (5). The Bees have more points at home in the competition this term (19) than any other side.

Leicester have won just one of their last 15 away games in the Premier League (D5 L9), keeping just one clean sheet and conceding 34 goals (2.3 per game) in this spell.

Brentford have won none of their four Premier League meetings with Leicester (D2 L2), only facing Newcastle (6) more often in the competition without ever winning.

Leicester are unbeaten in their last eight league games against Brentford (W5 D3), since a 3-2 home loss in the second tier in March 1953.

Leicester have won just one of their last 13 Premier League away games against London sides (D3 L9), shipping 2+ goals on each of their last five top-flight visits to the capital (D1 L4).

Brentford have won more home points (16) and scored more home goals (18) than any other side in the Premier League this season. They’ve won five of their six at the Gtech Community Stadium, and are looking to win four in a row at home for the first time ever in the Premier League.

Brentford’s last three home games have seen them win 5-3 against Wolves, 4-3 against Ipswich and 3-2 against Bournemouth. The Bees last scored 3+ goals in four consecutive home league games in April/May 1984, while the last team to win four straight top-flight home games while conceding 2+ goals each time were Leicester in October 1964.
