Last time Leeds United and Brentford met in a crucial clash, both sides were battling for automatic promotion from the Championship. Leeds were on a poor run of form and looked like slipping out of the top two, with Brentford on their tails.
That led to comments from Brentford manager ahead of the game, as he stated that Leeds would 'fear' coming to Griffin Park. Those comments appeared rankled with Leeds fans and appeared to motivate Marcelo Bielsa's players as they claimed a draw in that game and went on to win the Championship title by ten points, with Brentford missing out on promotion.
Leeds players were then filmed singing 'mind the gap, Thomas Frank' during their title celebrations. The video came back into circulation in recent weeks as it became clear that Brentford - promoted a season later - could possibly relegate Jesse Marsch's side this Sunday and Frank addressed the situation in his pre-match press conference.
