Bailey Peacock-Farrell and Chelsea-owned Jamal Blackman are the two main goalkeepers at Leeds United.

Following Leeds United’s 4-1 hammering at the hands of West Bromwich Albion away from home at The Hawthorns in the Premier League on Saturday evening, Noel Whelan asked an interesting question about the goalkeeping position on BBC Radio Leeds.

Bailey Peacock-Farrell is the first-choice goalkeeper at Leeds at the moment, but the Northern Ireland international has not always looked solid between the posts.

The 22-year-old was at fault for West Brom’s second goal and looked shaky at times, and many will wonder if it is time for Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa should give Jamal Blackman a chance.

After all, Peacock-Farrell started playing for the Leeds first team only towards the end of last season and is still a very young player.

Blackman joined Leeds on loan from Chelsea in the summer transfer window, with the 24-year-old goalkeeper impressing during his loan spell at Sheffield United in the Championship last season.

Former Leeds striker Whelan has asked whether Peacock-Farrell or Blackman should really be the first-choice goalkeeper at a top Championship club like the Whites.
