Leeds United face Aston Villa this weekend in a game which could be a preview of the play-off final.

The two teams appear on a collision course, and a decision Aston Villa made last summer could prove influential.

Leeds were reportedly interested in Villa winger Albert Adomah, with the Birmingham Mail claiming the Whites held talks with the club over a potential deal.

Villa held firm, and decided to keep hold of Adomah.

With Yannick Bolasie’s loan deal proving a disappointment, Villa’s decision to keep hold of Adomah is looking smart.

Adomah has made 34 Championship appearances for Villa this season, and has scored twice in their current 10 game winning streak.

Leeds would be a stronger team if they had Adomah available to them, and Villa’s choice to keep him and resist the Yorkshire side’s interest could prove decisive at the end of the campaign.
