BREAKING NEWS:Leeds United vs Plymouth Argyle match Kick-off postponed due to..
Leeds United will take on struggling Plymouth Argyle in the Championship clash at Elland Road on Saturday.
The Whites are undefeated in their last seven games in the Championship and are heading into this fixture on the back of a 0-0 draw against Bristol City.
With the games coming thick and fast and Leeds struggling with injury problems, the Yorkshire outfit have often struggled to maintain a high level of consistency that we generally associate with them.
However, they have got a week off from football, and Farke must have used this opportunity to implement tactics and fresh ideas on the training pitch.
On paper, Leeds are clear favourites to win this game, but Plymouth can throw tough challenges.
Leeds could be without Dan James, Patrick Bamford and Joe Gelhardt, while Jayden Bogle is suspended for this game after accumulating five yellow cards.
Illan Meslier received fierce criticism following his howler in the 2-2 draw against Sunderland, but he has been solid since. There’s no reason why Farke should drop him.
Pascal Struijk and Joe Rodon will continue at the heart of defence. Sam Byram is also set to retain his place, and the backline will be further boosted by Junior Firpo’s return.
Firpo was once seen as a major flop at Elland Road, and his future came under serious doubt. However, he has proved his quality, and Farke trusts him a lot.
Midfield
Ao Tanaka and Joe Rothwell were excellent against Bristol City, and the pair should continue in midfield this weekend as well.
Farke’s options are limited in this department following injuries to several key players
