Gabby Agbonlahor has predicted a high-scoring draw when Leeds United welcome Brentford to Elland Road on Saturday evening.

With the international break upon us, this latest showdown has implications at both ends of the table, with European football and relegation on the line.

Leeds are currently three points clear of the bottom three, but that gap has shrunk in recent weeks with only eight games to go.

Daniel Farke has a fully fit squad to choose from, apart from the suspended Gabriel Gudmundsson, so Leeds fans will expect three points under the lights.

Leeds United starting to fear relegation

Despite that expectation in LS11, Agbonlahor believes that the Bees will leave West Yorkshire with a point.

Speaking via talkSPORT, the ex-Aston Villa forward has predicted a 2-2 draw, insisting that Leeds know they need to keep picking up points now.

“Leeds will again look to pull away from danger as they play Brentford at Elland Road,” he said.

“Leeds know they need to keep picking up points, as they’re only three points above the relegation zone.

“For Brentford, the race for European football is very much on, so every point now is crucial.

“I predict a 2-2 draw.”

Leeds United go first in crucial Premier League weekend

Farke will take his side into the international break playing first, with West Ham, Spurs and Nottingham Forest all not featuring until Sunday.

The latter two actually play each other in North London, so something has to give there.

Leeds haven’t even scored in three Premier League matches, so maybe they need to start concentrating on themselves more, instead of those around them.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin missed a penalty last time out, and he will be desperate to get back on the scoresheet against Brentford, with his form critical to any survival hopes.

Most importantly, it’s about belief as Leeds haven’t been in the relegation zone for months now, so as long as they stay above that dreaded line, it’s a week-by-week scenario.

Three points on the board the day before the likes of West Ham play will send out a message going into the international break that if they falter, Leeds are inching closer to survival.
