Reading netted four goals on the road at in-form Derby to end the Rams' four-game winning streak and inflict a first defeat on Gary Rowett's side in eight matches.

"We prepared really well in how Derby have been playing in recent weeks as the form team in the division", Stam told BBC Radio Berkshire.

"But, we knew if we took our chances we could make it really difficult for them and that's what we did.

"We had a couple of very clear opportunities to score more than the four goals we did, but when we had to dig in deep and defend that's what the boys did very well.

"We got that win today by having faith in what we can do and sticking to it."

Shaky start for Leeds. Nico Yennaris hangs a cross up to the back post where Ollie Watkins out-jumps Andy Lonergan to head back across goal. The ball is cleared, but that's hardly convincing from the away side.

The players are out at Griffin Park. Brentford are wearing their home strip of red and white stripes, while Leeds are in their traditional all white.

We've had a minute's silence and we're now under way, with the Bees kicking off towards the away fans.

Liam Cooper returns from a dead leg to captain Leeds, who also welcome back Gaetano Beradi and Kalvin Phillips following suspension. Kemar Roofe and Stuart Dallas drop to the bench.

Leeds: Lonergan, Ayling, Cooper, Jansson, Berardi, O'Kane, Phillips, Vieira, Alioski, Saiz, Lasogga.

Subs: Wiedwald, Shaughnessy, Roofe, Dallas, Hernandez, Sacko, Grot.

Brentford boss Dean Smith makes three changes to the side which beat Birmingham City 2-0 last time out.

Nico Yennaris, Yoann Barbet, and Neal Maupay replace Kamohelo Mokotjo, Henrik Dalsgaard, and Lasse Vibe.

Brentford: Bentley, Bjelland, Barbet, Egan, Woods, Jozefzoon, Yennaris, Sawyers, Clarke, Watkins, Maupay.

Subs: Daniels, McLeod, McEachran Mokotjo, Vibe, Mepham, Canos.

Leeds have fallen on hard times recently to slip down into ninth place in the Championship.

For a side packed with exciting attacking talent, its somewhat of a surprise to see them languishing far behind their rivals in one important statistic: shots.

Since going top of the table by beating Birmingham on 12 September, Leeds have attempted fewer shots (18) than any other Championship side.

Thomas Christiansen's side will be looking to improve on that this evening at Griffin Park - a ground where they've managed just one goal in their last four league visits.

Goalkeeper Daniel Bentley says Brentford are targeting a third-straight win against a Leeds side who are struggling for form.

The visitors have lost five of their last six Championship games, while Brentford are unbeaten in eight league matches.

Bentley told BBC Radio London: "They're on a bit of an indifferent run of form, so they're a wounded animal at the moment, but they've got a lot of talented individuals in their squad and we won't take them lightly.

"We'll go into the game full of confidence, off the back of these two wins and we'll be aiming for a third. If it gets a bit gritty, we've shown we can do that, and we'll do it again."

If all that action wasn't enough for you, I've got another game to bring you now with in-form Brentford taking on stuttering Leeds.

Today's earlier results mean Leeds have slipped down to ninth place - two points off the play-offs. In fact the Bees, down in 15th place, are only four points behind them.

It's all to play for in a typically tight Championship table.

Still more Championship action to come your way this evening.

We're off to Griffin Park for Brentford against Leeds United.

Your man to take you through all the action will be Felix Keith.

Without doubt the man of the day so far is Sheffield United striker Leon Clarke.

Four goals from the striker in his side's 4-1 win against Hull City. Take a bow that man!

Some pretty eye-catching stories among those scorelines it's fair to say.

Wolves see their lead at the top cut to two points by Sheffield United.

Cardiff slip to third, a further two points behind, after their earlier defeat at Bristol City, who remain fourth.

Bolton are off the bottom of the table while Burton also have reason to celebrate.

Peter: Absolute domination from the Blades. Could have been 6 or 7 today.

Ramsay: Every time the guy doing the BBC EFL text commentary praises the Hull keeper, Sheff Utd score. Not complaining.

Aston Villa's recent upturn in form takes a set back but a great win on the road for Sheffield Wednesday.

Early goals from Adam Reach and Jordan Rhodes enough to secure the three points.

Burton Albion's second away goal of the season from Marvin Sordell is enough to grab some valuable points and climb out of the relegation places into 21st.

A red card for Jed Wallace hindered Millwall, who hit the post in the dying seconds but drop to 19th place.

Great win on the road for Reading and Derby's unbeaten run is ended after seven games.

Reading came out of the blocks are great speed and then found another two goals on the break in the second half to wrap up the points.

A second straight win for Barnsley.

A second successive defeat for Birmingham, who are in the relegation zone this evening.

Chris Wilder's side came from 1-0 behind to win emphatically with four goals from Leon Clarke taking them past Cardiff into second place.

That's three straight losses for Hull City.

Convincing win for Ipswich who have now won eight and lost seven this season.

Preston's woes continue with a fourth defeat in a row.
