Only one English Premier League match is on tap this Friday, with one club trying to get out of the relegation conversation in action as Leicester City plays host to Brentford.

It has not been an ideal return to the Premier League for Leicester City. The club has been unable to put forth any bit of a charge to keep up with the rest of the league, leaving the Foxes trudging along the bottom of the table for most of the season. Leicester City has been outscored by its opponents 6-0 over its last two league matches, and have not been victorious since late January. The Foxes have lost 10 of their previous 11 league contests.

Brentford certainly has not been as bad this season, but they have not been great either. They are stuck in the mushy middle of the EPL, not quite good enough to contend for a European spot but not bad enough to be in the relegation conversation. They look to build off their recent run of solid play, win two wins in their last three league matches.

Leicester City is tied for 18th in the table, two points back of the 17th-place Wolverhampton, while Brentford is 11th, 17 points ahead of the Foxes.
