Team News
Leeds
Swansea
- Marcelo Bielsa could finally hand a league debut to Arsenal loanee Eddie Nketiah as he continues to utilise a 3-4-1-2 system.
- The hosts will remain elsewhere unchanged from last weekend though after recording an impressive away win against Stoke.
- Basel loanee Aldo Kalulu continues to miss out for the away side while fellow winger Nathan Dyer is also sidelined.
- Swansea boss Steve Cooper will make just one change here with Kyle Naughton replacing Jake Bidwell after an impactful substitute appearance against Birmingham.
Swansea win to nil. Don’t @ me.
@RMartin I'mma @ you, cause that's a shout and a half lad.
@Titou14 Stay tuned for more;) I want to make some winners!!
Leeds have defensive frailties, that they have managed to hide by maintaining possession and up against teams that haven’t been at their level. They haven’t been tested yet and can struggle at home. This match depends on the start both teams get, but the forward line of Bastion and Ayew will be too good for the current Leeds defence, so comfortable away win.
Leeds expected goals compared to expected conceded is off the chart. Miles away from every other club in the league at this point so far in the season but are sometimes wasteful. Swansea have had 2 penalties which Leeds have not and they score some more difficult chances. I have to back the best team to win which is Leeds.
@FIS2015 Risky business. Leeds have been less than prolific at Elland Road as of late. Swansea at their best have been rampant and have only lost 1 of their last 14 championship fixtures. They’ve also scored 30 goals in those 14, in the same amount of games preceding this one Leeds have only scored 20.
@RMartin All very true, Leeds could certainly be their own worst enemy here. If they play to their ability and overcome the worser home record then there is little doubt they will win but it depends if they can and probably the first goal is crucial. One stat not mentioned so far is Leeds have won the last 10 games against Swansea at ER, a remarkable run. The last 14 is not too applicable I would say though as it is a new season and Leeds now have Costa & Nketiah whereas they didn't for the end of last season and both clubs have had a pre-season since. Hope to be right! definitely a potential banana skin and a intriguing encounter!
