Leeds United vs Brentford postponement latest as yellow thunderstorm warning issued
Leeds United are looking to continue their perfect start to the season against Brentford on Sunday.
The Whites have beaten Nottingham Forest twice, first in the Premier League then the Carabao Cup, both with clean sheets at the City Ground.
Daniel Farke knows it won't be easy at Elland Road though, with Brentford also winning both of their games so far.
The Bees beat Tottenham 3-0 last week, before smashing Birmingham 6-1 in the Carabao Cup at St Andrew's.
While winning under the lights and in the sun is brilliant, it'll be a totally different atmosphere in LS11 on Sunday.

Weather latest on Leeds United vs Brentford
After multiple scorching heatwaves, rain is now hitting England hard, up and down the country.
West Yorkshire finally welcomed it this week, which should create a brilliant playing surface at Elland Road.
The Met Office has now issued a new yellow warning for thunderstorms on Sunday, though, covering Leeds and most of the country.
Travel delays are expected for fans using trains and cars, with some short-term loss of power also predicted.
While that could happen at Elland Road, the facilities on show in the Premier League should see the game go ahead without issue.
Latest Leeds United team news from Thorp Arch
It was all good news for Farke this week.
While he won't start or maybe even get on the bench, Ilia Gruev has returned to training after the injury that ended his season last time around.
On top of that, Willy Gnonto and Gabriel Gudmundsson both returned to team training at the end of the week.
The Sweden international would usually start, but is likely to be on the bench with Gnonto, behind the likes of James Justin.
Farke will likely opt for the same team that beat Forest last Saturday, with the only question being whether to start Noah Okafor or Brenden Aaronson.
Knowing his love for the latter, it will likely be the American that keeps his spot.
With three days left in the transfer window, Sunday's squad against Brentford could look very different again when it travels to Brighton next week.
