Leeds United

Last updated: Sat 19 October 2019 18:12
In Brief

Leeds have stalled of late. Still have several injuries. Gaetano Berardi suspension overturned.

Looking Back

There has been much frustration at Leeds recently with only one win, and two defeats, in their last four matches.

Went down 2-1 at Millwall last time out after an early sending off to Gaetano Berardi. That red card has now been overturned and he can play in this game.

Looking Ahead

Liam Cooper, Adam Forshaw, Jamie Shackleton and Pablo Hernandez all remain out while Jordan Stevens is suspended.

There has been much debate about Eddie Nketiah recently with Marcelo Bielsa reluctant to give him a start. It remains to be seen whether he has done enough to be in contention for this one.

Points of Interest

Have two wins, two draws and one defeat on home soil this term.

Birmingham City

Last updated: Sat 19 October 2019 18:12
In Brief

Birmingham in excellent Middlesbrough win. No new injuries.

Looking Back

Birmingham were excellent again last time out with a win 2-1 at home to Middlesbrough and it could well have been more given their dominance.

Young players impressive of late with Odin Bailey, who scored his first Blues goal with the winner, and Jude Bellingham stand out performers against Boro.

Looking Ahead

Maikel Kieftenbeld remains out while Cheick Keita and Jonathan Grounds are still doubts. Jefferson Montero has a chance of returning.

Josh McEachran will be pushing for game time for the first time while boss Pep Clotet does have options with youngsters putting the pressure on older heads.

Points of Interest

Have two wins and four defeats away from home this season. Have won last three meetings with Leeds.
