Leeds United will hope to move three points clear at the top of the Championship on Saturday.
Leeds have the opportunity to secure top spot in the Championship heading into the international break before most of their rivals kick off on Saturday as they host Brentford at lunchtime at Elland Road.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side appear to have recovered from their slight wobble last month, having followed a brilliant performance away at Sheffield Wednesday with a decent win at Hull in midweek with Tyler Roberts scoring the decisive goal.
With Kemar Roofe set to return after the international break, Roberts perhaps has one more chance to show to Bielsa why he should not be dropped for the trip to Blackburn towards the end of the month.
The forward has certainly made the most of his chance, having scored three times, including a brilliant winner last time out. And another youngster is perhaps in contention to get a similar opportunity to the one that Roberts was handed a few weeks back.
Barry Douglas was taken off due to injury at Hull and is out for Saturday. The obvious candidate to come in would seemingly be Tom Pearce, who is yet to start a league game this season but did impress when given a chance last term.
The likes of Stuart Dallas and even Gjanni Alioski could also perhaps come into Bielsa’s thinking, but Pearce’s comfort in the role may be crucial given the attacking quality that the Bees boast.
There may be some disappointment amongst some fans if Alioski keeps his place in the side as his form has been underwhelming lately. But Bielsa is yet to really make a statement by dropping a player since arriving in the summer, so it would arguably be a huge surprise if he decided to leave the Macedonia international out of the starting lineup on Saturday.
With that in mind, here is a look at the predicted lineup in full…
