Since the start of last season where Daniel Farke's job was at risk, Leeds have been a breath of fresh air in the Premier League.
They have continued their fine 2025/26 campaign into this one with two wins in two different competitions, and are yet to concede either.
Gabriel Gudmundsson and Wilfried Gnonto have also returned to training in a boost for the team, but it is unclear whether they will be involved.
Long-term absentee Ilia Gruev is also back on the grass, but he is definitely ruled out.
As for Brentford, Yehor Yarmoliuk is fine despite limping off in midweek, but Sepp van den Berg and Antoni Milambo remain injured.
Still, the Bees' form suggests they will not be big misses for Keith Andrews.
After taking over form the successful Thomas Frank last season, the Irishman has done a great job in West London, and his team will be pushing for Europe again after narrowly missing out.
Brentford have not travelled well in recent matches though, so Elland Road will provide a tough test for them.

Whispers predicts: Leeds United 1-1 Brentford
Leeds are slight 33/20 (2.65) favourites to win, but given Brentford's strong start to the season, we fancy them to get a result.
The Draw at 5/2 (3.50) appeals to us, while Under 2.5 goals at 10/11 (1.91) is also worth exploring given both teams kept clean sheets in their league openers.
In terms of player betting, Harry Wilson has scored more goals against Brentford (seven) than any other team in his career, and on what would be his home debut, Harry Wilson to score anytime at 3/1 (4.00) is worth a punt in our eyes.
Overall, we are predicting a 1-1 draw, which is available at 6/1 (7.00).
> Under 2.5 goals at 10/11 (1.91) | Likelihood: Probable
> Draw at 5/2 (3.50) | Likelihood: Possible
> Harry Wilson to score anytime at 3/1 (4.00) | Likelihood: Possible
