Leeds United players got dressed up for their Christmas party.

A general view of Elland Road during the Sky Bet Championship match between Leeds United and Fulham at Elland Road on December 13, 2014 in Leeds, England.

The Leeds United players haven’t needed costumes to become superheroes this season.

Their high-flying form since August has saved fans from the despair of another disappointing Championship campaign and the Whites are favourites for Premier League promotion.

Nevertheless, a number of Marcelo Bielsa’s squad did transform into their favourite superheroes for the purpose of the Christmas party, which was a fancy dress theme.

Leeds’ top goalscorer Kemar Roofe uploaded a photo on Instagram of his team-mates, a number of whom turned into Batman, Robin, Deadpool, Zorro and Mr Incredible.

Fit-again Patrick Bamford became Mr Incredible; goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell was Deadpool; Barry Douglas morphed into Zorro and Conor Shaughnessy was Robin.

It remains to be seen which United star adopted Bruce Wayne’s alter ego, though some fans have suggested Stuart Dallas due to the beard.

Roofe himself appears to have gone as a different type of hero, music icon Jimi Hendrix, while Mateusz Klich has become a certain Staines-based fictional rapper.

Leeds, who sit second in the Championship with a five-point cushion in the automatic promotion places, go to Bolton on Saturday hoping to extend their four-match winning streak.

How many Leeds stars can you identify?
