In what will be a real party atmosphere from Elland Road on Monday night, Leeds will welcome Bristol City to Yorkshire.
Leeds
Starting with the hosts, with their Premier League return already confirmed with time to spare, Leeds certainly find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Putting in what was a sensational performance at Elland Road last week as they stormed their way to a 6-0 romp against Stoke, Daniel Farke’s men have enjoyed a real purple patch of late. Despite showing some inconsistencies on either side of March’s international break, the former Norwich boss has seen his squad come roaring back in a remarkable fashion. Including a gritty 1-0 win away at Middlesbrough earlier in the month, Leeds have won all of their previous four consecutive Championship appearances by an aggregate score of 10-1. It should also be highlighted, Farke’s side have not suffered a single second-tier defeat at Elland Road since the middle of September.
Leeds Team News
Dealing with a calf issue and not featuring over the past month, former Bournemouth midfielder Joe Rothwell remains on the sidelines. However, ex-Manchester United star Daniel James could return to Farke’s squad after missing out against Stoke.
Bagging four goals at Elland Road last week, Dutch marksman Joel Piroe will spearhead Leeds’ charge in the final third. Recently cementing his spot as Farke’s number one choice, Wales international Karl Darlow will start between the sticks.
Bristol City
As for the visitors, while Bristol City might have been left stunned away at relegation scrappers Luton last week as they slumped to a 3-1 defeat, Liam Manning’s men are sat in the driving seat to punch a sensational play-off ticket this season. Cementing their spot as one of the Championship’s surprise packages, the Robins have lost just a pair of their previous 13 appearances – a run that stems back to February 9th. However, while Monday’s guests might have snatched a rugged 0-0 stalemate when they welcomed Leeds to Ashton Gate for their reverse Championship showdown on October 26th, they do hold a woeful record against the Lilywhites. In fact, Manning’s side have registered just a single point from any of their last seven consecutive meetings.
Bristol City Team News
Limping off against Luton last week with a reported hamstring injury, Bristol City have confirmed that Cameron Pring will miss the final twosomes of the season. Likewise, all still dealing with respective long-term blows, the Robins remain without the likes of Ayman Banarous, Harry Cornick and Luke McNally.
Notching 10 Championship strikes this season, veteran striker Nahki Wlls will shoulder most of City’s goalscoring threat. Impressing on loan from West Ham this season, 20-year-old George Earthy could be handed a full recall.
