Leeds United goalkeeper Kiko Casilla has a chance to shine.
Leeds United have an advantage over Bristol City this weekend and it’s not just their league position.
Bristol City have a goalkeeper crisis, and have had to sign trialist Stefan Marinovic, the club has confirmed.
Marinovic is in contention to play, with City’s two first choice goalkeepers injured.
At the other end, Leeds United have no such issues.
The Whites acquired Kiko Casilla from Real Madrid in January and he has instantly become a regular in the team.
Casilla kept his first clean sheet last weekend as Leeds defeated West Bromwich Albion 4-0 at Elland Road.
This weekend he is looking for his first clean sheet away from home.
It is likely he will be busy.
With Bristol City having goalkeeping issues, they may decide their best form of defence is to attack, and they will try to put Leeds under pressure.
This is a chance for Casilla to shine, and show how good he is, opposite a comparatively inexperienced goalkeeper at the top level.
What Leeds need is for Casilla to go on a run of keeping clean sheets, and making it two-in-a-row would be the next step as part of doing so.
