Leeds United already have the best defence in the Championship.
Liam Cooper is in line to make his first start since injury for Leeds this weekend.
He came off the bench against Sheffield Wednesday last week for the final 14 minutes.
The centre-back came through an under-23 game on Monday night and has been training this week.
He is in line to return to action for the Whites this weekend at home to Queens Park Rangers.
QPR have their work cut out, because Leeds’ defence is the best in the Championship.
Cooper got injured early in Leeds’ defeat against Charlton, and has missed out on the last four league starts for the Whites. They have won just one of these matches.
Leeds’ defensive record this season has been pretty remarkable.
In 14 games, Leeds have conceded just eight goals.
That is two fewer than Sheffield Wednesday, the next best. The 0-0 result last weekend was probably the most predictable scoreline of the season.
Opponents QPR have conceded 26 by comparison.
Leeds have struggled to score goals this season and break teams down, but this match is skewed in their favour.
Cooper’s return makes Leeds’ defence even better, and it would be a shock if QPR were able to score more than once.
The game will likely be decided at the other end.
