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.
Van Nistelrooy has looked a little lost in the King Power dugout since replacing Steve Cooper, but if he can’t fire up his troops for a game like tonight’s, he’s in the wrong job.
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.
