Leeds United boss Daniel Farke has picked his team to lock horns with Alex Neil’s Stoke City side in an away Championship clash this evening.
Farke has slowly guided Leeds up the Championship table and into third spot in the standings, with the Whites starting to look strong.
With Leicester City running away at the top of the table though, Leeds will be keen not to let the Foxes get too far ahead and victory tonight would cut the gap to eleven points.
Tonight’s hosts Stoke have struggled this term and lost seven of their 12 league games so far to sit just two spots outside the drop zone.
Illan Meslier is in goal for Leeds this evening, while Archie Gray, Pascal Struijk, Joe Rodon and Sam Byram form the back four.
Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev are in the engine room, while Jaidon Anthony, Willy Gnonto and Joel Piroe all support Georginio Rutter.
If Farke wants to shake things up he has options on the bench, including Glen Kamara and Patrick Bamford.
