Leeds United v Stoke City
5th March@19:45pm | Elland Road
Daniel Farke will be looking for an instant response from his players when Stoke City arrive at Elland Road on Tuesday evening.
The Whites were held to a 1-1 draw by lowly Huddersfield Town at the weekend, surrendering the coveted second placed automatic promotion slot back to Ipswich Town.
The Potters have problems of their own. With less than a quarter of the season left, they sit in the relegation zone (22nd) by way of having a worse aggregate than Huddersfield Town, Birmingham City and QPR. Even a point at Elland Road could take them out of the drop zone.
Their unexpected win against an inconsistent Middlesbrough side at the weekend will give Steven Schumacher's side some confidence against a Leeds side undefeated at home all season.
Leeds have only conceded twelve goal at home all season (the lowest in the Championship), whilst netting 38; Stoke have only netted 33 all season, but we know what happens when we get complacent!
Leeds have no new injury concerns. Karl Darlow has recovered from his dislocated thumb, and should make the bench. Connor Roberts and Dan James are pushing for starts after impressive cameo appearances in recent games, which could see Archie Gray moved to midfield in place of out of sorts Glen Kamara.
Stoke will be without a recognised left back when they visit Elland Road on Tuesday evening. Enda Stevens has a hamstring injury whilst Jordan Thompson serves the second of a two-game ban for picking up 10th bookings. Defender Luke McNally (thigh) and striker Junior Tchamadeu (knock) are also expected to be ruled out.
4 - 0.

One thing I have noticed about us when playing teams lower down the league is we seem to over play things , no doubt these anti football sides try their best to scupper how we play but we have to learn how to overcome it and pretty darn quick cos make no doubt about it they will all think the dog fiddlers have just shown everyone the blue print on how to play us.

True Rev - we sometimes forget that pace of the attack (not the same as pace of the player) can get us in behind teams to cut back, cross into the danger areas.
Cross for Bamford was a great example and then we largely ignored James and Roberts down that side in favour of the get the ball to Summerville approach and let him beat half their side.

Sometimes we don’t even show any kind of urgency until we’re a goal down.

Being reported that Leicester may have FFP troubles of their own - shame 🤣
