Leeds United v Swansea City
Saturday 29th March@15:00 | Elland Road

Leeds United will be eager to reignite their promotion push this weekend as they host Swansea City at Elland Road. After a somewhat disappointing run of form, picking up just five points from their last four games, the Whites find themselves level on points with Sheffield United and only two ahead of a resurgent Burnley. A victory is crucial to maintain their automatic promotion ambitions.

Swansea City, languishing 15 places and a significant 34 points behind Leeds, arrive in Yorkshire desperate for points of their own. Hovering precariously close to the relegation zone, the Swans will be keen to upset the odds and distance themselves from the drop. Adding extra spice to the encounter is Swansea's caretaker manager, Alan Sheehan, who enjoyed an 18-month spell at Elland Road during Leeds' League One days. He would relish the opportunity to earn a victory against his former club.

Swansea will be without Harry Darling (hip), Kristian Pedersen (recovering from hamstring surgery), and Myles Peart-Harris (back). Hannes Delcroix, who was ineligible to play against his parent club Burnley before the international break, should return to the fold.

Leeds United, on the other hand, received encouraging injury updates from manager Daniel Farke. Ethan Ampadu, who had been sidelined with a knee injury, has made a swift recovery and is back in full training, confirming his availability for the match. Trio Dan James, Joel Piroe and Joe Rodon should all start against their former club!

The participation of Willy Gnonto remains uncertain due to an ankle injury he took on International Duty with the Italian U21's. Farke has suggested that the injury is not too serious, and a late decision will be made regarding his inclusion in the squad. Gnonto has only participated in a lighter training session this week.

Further boosting Leeds' squad, Max Wober has rejoined team training, marking a significant step in his recovery. Patrick Bamford has also been actively training for the past two weeks, indicating positive progress in his rehabilitation, though his match fitness remains to be seen. No thank you!

This is what pisses me off with Farke , Aaronson has been poor most of this year and was pretty dreadful at QPR , Gnonto came on 2nd half at QPR and we looked miles better , so what's Farke do?
