It feels like now or never for Leicester City. Ruud van Nistelrooy has struggled to get a tune from the Foxes since swapping Old Trafford for the King Power Stadium in November, and if tonight’s game ends in another loss – a potential 11th defeat in 13 in all competitions – surely survival will be a step too far.

Everyone knows Brentford aren’t quite the same prospect away from home as they are at home, although the Bees have won their past three on the road at Southampton, Crystal Palace and West Ham. Van Nistelrooy will need the full support of the King Power crowd, something he hasn’t always been able to count on in recent weeks. You suspect he’ll need the experience and goals of Jamie Vardy, too. Three points would be enough to lift Leicester above Wolves and out of the bottom three, for a few hours at the very least.

Important Events
An email that agrees with me? yes! It's from Jeremy Boyce:
As you say, there's a little weird match to predict. You can't win at home, you can't win. Is it 0-0? Or, considering how the boys of Rood ship the goal, and also the respectful, brilliant, glamorous former carpet fitter still smacks them when they can give him the ball. . I bet on two minutes of Mbeumo/Wissa, Vardy's shoulder equalizer that was delayed for extra time, and a lot of aimless Huff'n'puffs in between. Should I drop Bookies now? Obviously, we don't tolerate gambling and never put it on a shirt. we?
Am I naive to predict that this game is probably not a positive conclusion that the Formbook suggests? Leicester really needs this. Like Really This is necessary. Brentford isn't much on proverb beaches yet, but they seem to be approaching safety in the mid-table period, and probably won't bother European places.
Van Nistellouis has been a bit lost in the King Power Dugout since replacing Steve Cooper, but if he can't burn his troops for a match like tonight, he's done the wrong job. It's there.
There are a few things to read:
It's not the record you want. Even Manchester United in Amorim hasn't threatened this.
