Leeds suffer heavy West Brom loss. Conor Shaughnessy, Gaetano Berardi, Luke Ayling, Izzy Brown and Patrick Bamford injured. Pontus Jansson doubtful. Keeper crisis with Bailey Peacock-Farrell and Jamal Blackman injured.
Leeds will still be reeling by an unexpected and heavy 4-1 loss at West Brom just before the international break. They were 4-0 down in that game too until a late Pablo Hernandez consolation.
That defeat saw the Whites drop down to 3rd in the table but they are still very well placed and boss Marcelo Bielsa will hope that result will serve as a bit of a wake-up call.
Bielsa may well opt for changes after such a disappointing game last time out and looks likely to make a change in defence with Pontus Jansson struggling.
There remains a fairly long injury list with Conor Shaughnessy, Gaetano Berardi, Luke Ayling, Izzy Brown and Patrick Bamford all still sidelined.
Elsewhere Leeds have a keeper crisis. Jamal Blackman suffered a serious injury in the Under 23s and Marcelo Bielsa has since said he would have replaced Bailey Peacock-Farrell for this game. Now Peacock-Farrell has been ruled out as well leaving just Kamil Miazek and Will Huffer available.
Leeds have been difficult to beat at Elland Road so far with four wins, three draws and just one defeat.
