Swansea City v Leeds Utd
Sunday 24th November 3:00pm | Swansea.com Stadium
Leeds travel down to Swansea on Sunday, hoping to finish the weekend in style with a top-two spot in the Championship. Victory in South Wales could very well see the Whites top the Championship for the first time this season if Sunderland fail to win in Bermondsey, and likewise the Blades slip up at Coventry. The Whites haven't lost at Swansea since 2011, and recorded a 4-0 win the last time they played, back in February.
Daniel Farke has no new injury concerns after the International Break. Junior Firpo serves his second of a three-match ban, leaving the Leeds boss with a selection dilemma between Sam Byram and fit-again Max Wöber. Ilea Gruev, Largie Ramazani, and Ethan Ampadu remain long-term casualties. Though Largie Ramazani is back in limited training and could feature sooner than expected.
On-loan winger Manor Solomon, who played a starring role for Israel during their surprise 1-0 win over Belgium, is in contention for a recall for his fourth start of the season. Messrs James, Piroe, and Rodon all look set to do battle against their former club!
Swansea midfielders Jay Fulton (calf) and Ollie Cooper (foot), forwards Ji-Sung Eom (knee) and Josh Ginnelly (Achilles) are injured, along with reserve goalkeeper Andy Fisher (groin). Winger Sam Parker could return to the squad after his hamstring injury.
Meanwhile, this game holds a tantalizing promise for Leeds fans. Piroe, Rodon, and James facing their former teammates add an extra layer of narrative to an already compelling fixture. Both teams favor a possession-based approach, setting the stage for a fascinating tactical battle in South Wales.
With a chance to go top of the Championship at stake, Leeds fans will be hoping for their club’s attacking firepower to shine once again. Regardless of Sunderland and Sheffield United’s results, a victory on Sunday could signal a major statement of intent in the race for promotion.
