A look at the possibilities available to Leeds United manager Daniel Farke for tonight’s Championship clash with promotion rivals Leicester City at Elland Road.

This is the big one. Leeds United, in second position, will be looking to take another huge step towards regaining promotion to the Premier League by defeating leaders Leicester City this evening.  However, it appears to be one of the Whites’ most difficult trials of the season. With 13 matches remaining, the Foxes lead the table by nine points.  United manager Daniel Farke stated, “This is another opportunity for us to win the next points and improve our position.” We have a home game, and we know we will be facing the league’s toughest opponent right now.  “But so do Leicester, so they are aware that we are a very good side. It is undoubtedly a highly interesting game for the rest of the world, including commentators and the media, as well as our followers.

“But for us, it’s more or less like another chance to gain the next point under our belt and better our status further on, so yeah, we want to capitalize on this momentum. Farke has indicated that Patrick Bamford (hamstring) has an outside chance of playing versus City. Bamford may be named on the bench, while Joel Piroe is expected to start in attack.

Jaidon Anthony, a wide man, is expected to be included in the matchday squad due to a personal issue. Karl Darlow, Sam Byram, and Pascal Struijk will be unable to attend the match.

Leeds United’s Leicester City team includes Meslier, Klaesson, Van den Heuvel, Roberts, Gray, Rodon, Firpo, Byram, Cooper, Cresswell, Shackleton, Ampadu, Kamara, Gruev, James, Gnonto, Summerville, Anthony, Bamford, Piroe, Rutter, Gelhardt, and Joseph.
