Leeds goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell is set to return to action after a suspension for Kiko Casilla.

Leeds United goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell will be called upon after the international break after first choice Kiko Casilla picked up a red card.

Casilla was sent off late on in the defeat to Sheffield United.

The Spaniard had displaced Peacock-Farrell since his January move from Real Madrid.

Peacock-Farrell had been first choice at Leeds until then, showing moments of brilliance, but also making errors.

He will be under pressure at Elland Road upon his return.

Part of the challenge will be the mental part. Peacock-Farrell will be desperate not to let Leeds down, knowing so much is riding on the game, with regards to the club’s promotion bid.

He needs to shut that out, and treat it just like any other game. That might not be so easy considering his lack of first team action over the last two months.

Millwall will target him, and Peacock-Farrell needs protection from his defence, which will be without the injured Pontus Jansson.

While Casilla will reclaim his place in the side when he returns, Peacock-Farrell needs to step up and try and prove himself his equal.
