It is never easy making your full debut but even harder when you are coming into a defence that has struggled to keep clean sheets this season.

It will be a tough test.

That is the focus.

They need to perform, work hard, and look to start getting results.

Brentford

Brentford boss Thomas Frank speaking to Sky Sports on Ethan Pinnock replacing the injured Sepp van den Berg: "I would love Sepp to play. He really grew into the patenrship with Nathan Collins, but on the flip side Ethan Pinnock has been our most consistent centre-back over the last five years so it's not a bad swap. Very pleased with that consistency, that is important. We can hopefully build on the last performance."

On if he thinks this is a good opportunity to record back-to-back wins: "Yes I do, but I am very wary that it is going to be very difficult. Leicester have everything to play for, they need to come flying out. I'm not in doubt they see it as an opportunity to get points on the board. But it's about us, how we can perform, how we trust ourselves, what we believe."

On whether the pressure on Leicester plays into Brentford's hands: "Maybe. It depends if they come flying out and are a little bit on the back foot or we are controlling and cominating. It's 90 minutes and there will be ups and downs. Hopefully we play the best of those 90 minutes."

On if he is pleased by how his team is shaping up: "The team is doing very well. Our front four look dangerous, fluid, in form. Hopefully they continue that."

The montage Leicester play before every game - which includes their League Cup wins in 1997 and 2000, Championship title, their Champions League run, the FA Cup win and - of course - the Premier League triumph in 2016 - is being shown.

It could act as inspiration but it is also a reminder of where the club is right now and how they failed to build on the most successful era in their history.

Having failed to win any of their first nine Premier League away games this season (D2 L7), Brentford have now won each of their last three.

The Bees last won four consecutive league games on the road in September 2011 in League One and have never done so in the top-flight.

Leicester City

Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy speaking to Sky Sports on the one change to his starting line-up: "A new week, new chances for everyone. You look at stabiltiy and performanes that players have done and something to build on. We do that to start with this starting XI."

On how his players are mentally with lack of wins: "It is the missing link, taking those performances into points. That's what the frustration is. We know consistency comes with hard work. The development is there. We believe if we carry on like this we can get points."

On finding balance between scoring more goals and keeping it tight at the back: "We know the amout of goals we conceded was something we worked on. You look at the lack of goals in last performances. It is always a balance. We can do both and it's on us to show.

On what he expects from Brentford: " It's a well-structured, experienced teams. Players are a long time together. It is very clear how they want to press high. It's a side that can score from any moment."

Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy believes fans are showing "pure passion" amid recent protests at their game against Arsenal.

The hierarchy has come under increasing pressure from fans with the club sitting second from bottom in the table after winning only four of their 25 Premier League games this season.

"I think it's pure passion what you see around you," Van Nistelrooy said.

"Passion for the football club to do better and that is a great thing to see and to feel and to represent that.

"I feel in the Arsenal game we were supported really well. I didn't hear any negativity. The fans were all behind the team.

"We all suffered, off and on the pitch with those late goals. The protest, I haven't really seen that because we were already in the stadium preparing for the game.

"So the supporters did that separate from us. So that helped. We were focusing on the game and when we went out there was nothing visible about that and that felt like great support."

Former Leicester defender Michael Morrsion says tonight's match against Brentford is a chance for the Foxes to put pressure on relegation rivals.

Speaking to BBC Radio Leicester's When You're Smiling podcast, Morrison said: "With the game kicking off the night before, you can gain a psychological advantage on your opponents if you win. It's a great opportunity to put pressure on everybody.

"No disrespect to Brentford, but they are games you are looking at and thinking you can win this. It makes it more exciting with everyone realising the advantage we can get from it.

"We will have to be really good at set-pieces, defensively - Brentford are a threat with them. We can't try too hard to score and leave the back door open because Brentford are really good at counter-attacking football."

Brentford

Thomas Frank believes Brentford have the quality and desire to qualify for European football this season.

The Bees are 11th in the Premier League table and Frank says his team is focused on putting together a run that would help them rise up the table back into the European spots, but urged his players to be more consistent.

"We want to push and if we can achieve that it would be a fantastic dream and amazing," he said.

"It's about focusing on Leicester to do what we can and win under the floodlights in a game they have to win.

"Let's get three points and maybe down the line, we can dream. A big target for us is we haven't won two games in a row, so if we want to dream about Euro places, we need more consistency."
