Team News

Leeds
Watford
  • Patrick Bamford is out for another couple of weeks with an ankle injury, while Luke Ayling may require surgery for a problem in his knee. Both are ruled out again here.
  • Raphinha was forced off in Leeds' 2-1 defeat to West Ham last weekend but is available for selection here.
  • Jack Harrison replaced Dan James at half-time last time out and may take his spot from the off here.
  • Pascal Struijk and Diego Llorente are back for Leeds, with the former completing a three-match ban and the latter over his latest injury. Charlie Cresswell will likely drop out of the team as a result.
  • João Pedro made his first appearance of the season as a substitute last weekend but Watford have now lost midfielder Peter Etebo for several months due to a ruptured quad.
  • Tom Cleverley was forced off at half-time against Newcastle last time out after feeling dizzy but he has returned to training since then. Goalkeeper Daniel Bachmann is also back with the group but Ben Foster may still get the nod here.
  • Kiko Femenia was fit to start against Newcastle but didn't have a good game and was subbed off.

Prediction

  • Leeds took a 1-0 lead against West Ham before conceding twice in the second half, including in stoppage time, to lose 2-1 at home. Marcelo Bielsa's side are still looking for their first league win of the season.
  • Watford picked up a point at home to Newcastle last weekend to make it two games without defeat. They are four points clear of Leeds, who occupy the final spot in the bottom three.
  • Watford have won the last four meetings between the two sides and unbeaten in the last five, though this is bizarrely their first league encounter since 2015.
