29th November 8:45pm | Elland Road
Leeds Utd hope to get back to winning ways midweek, when Michael Duff's Swansea City visit Elland Road. The Whites remain the only unbeaten home side in the Championship this season, and are desperate for maximum points, to close the gap on the top two. They face a Jacks side with one win in six, and are fourteen places and twelve points behind them. The two sides last met during Leeds Championship winning campaign (19/20), with both sides sharing three points a-piece curtesy of last minute goals away from home!
Daniel Farke must decide whether to risk Pascal Struijk, so soon after hernia surgery. The 24 year old came on for the last 10 minutes of the Rotherham game after Liam Cooper limped off with what looked like a hamstring strain. Charlie Cresswell stands by. Like so many, Junior Firpo's display on Friday evening gave a lot to be desired, but with Byram struggling for fitness, should retain his place. Djed Spence is pushing for game time, following his return to fitness after his knee injury, which saw the on-loan Spurs defender sidelined for eight weeks.
Jamie Shackleton and Joe Gelhardt could both make the bench whilst Stuart Dallas remains a long term absentee. Joel Piroe, Dan James and Matt Grimes all face their former clubs.
