Leeds United’s defence will be in a battle against Millwall striker Lee Gregory.
Leeds United’s backline has looked formidable at the beginning of the season, but they are set for a fresh test when domestic football resumes after the international break.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side have conceded just four goals in their opening six league fixtures, something that has seen them climb to the top of the Championship table.
The Whites have found some consistency with Liam Cooper and Gaetano Berardi at centre-back, while Luke Ayling and Barry Douglas are mainstays in the full-back areas.
But they travel to Millwall on Saturday in the league and will know they are set for a hostile atmosphere.
Bielsa will need to prepare his Leeds players for battle and they may need to be willing to grit it out at times, despite the team playing an expansive style of football so far this season.
Millwall centre-forward Lee Gregory is someone who has made an impressive start to the new campaign and is a serious attacking threat.
The 30-year-old powerhouse is excellent at holding the ball up and will be prepared to engage in physical encounters with the Leeds centre-backs.
He’s started the new season in decent form, scoring three goals and supplying two assists in eight appearances across all competitions.
Leeds are going to have to overcome difficult away games such as Millwall to be in the mix for promotion and how they deal with Gregory at the weekend could help shape the final result.
