Leeds United will be looking to return to winning ways in the Championship with victory over Barnsley away from home this afternoon.

The West Yorkshire outfit will head into the match at Oakwell on the back of a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Swansea City at Elland Road in the league.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side are fourth in the Championship table at the moment with 13 points from six matches.

A win against Barnsley this afternoon will see Leeds move level on points with current leaders Swansea.

Meanwhile, the Tyles find themselves just a place above the relegation zone and will be fighting for survival this season.

This is how Barnsley and Leeds will line up this afternoon:

Meanwhile, Leeds central midfielder Kalvin Phillips has said that he does not think that he is worth £20 million, but he has said that is a compliment to be so highly valued.

According to The Yorkshire Evening Post, there was a bid in excess of £20m for the 23-year-old in the summer transfer window.

Leeds did not accept it and recently handed the youngster – who can also operate as a central defender – a new contract.

Phillips told The Yorkshire Evening Post: “I think it’s a bit crazy to be honest. If I was offering that money for a player, I don’t think I’d offer that much for me. That’s too much.

“But it’s always a compliment. If someone is willing to offer that much money to buy me then I must be doing something right.”
