Leicester City and Brentford football clubs are set to open match week 26 of the 2024/25 Premier League season. On Friday, 21 February, The Foxes will meet The Bees at their home base of King Power Stadium for the second time this season. The previous game took place on 30 November and ended in an impressive 4 – 1 win for the hosting Brentford.
Currently, Brentford is one position shy of moving to the top ten of the league table. Leicester’s position is less favourable. Staying in the 19th place, they are one of the three clubs facing relegation to the EFL Championship.
Leicester changed their head coach mid season, when they sacked their manager of five months Steve Cooper on 24 November 2024. Ruud van Nistelrooy stepped into this role shortly after. His current contract is signed until June 2027.
Brentford continues playing this season with Thomas Frank who first became their head coach in 2018, following his promotion from the position of an assistant head coach he had occupied for two years.
