Leeds United and Burton Albion go head-to-head this weekend.

Leeds United will be desperate to see the back of the latest international break considering how well they started the new Championship campaign.

Thomas Christiansen’s side are currently third in the table with 11 points from a possible 15, and while Cardiff City and Ipswich Town currently occupy the two positions directly above them, there is every chance the Whites can finally secure promotion back to the top flight come May.

There is of course a lot of football to be played before then, with Leeds’ next match against Burton Albion on Saturday, and Christiansen has some interesting decisions to make after some late activity on deadline day.

Pierre-Michel Lasogga and Pawel Cibicki arrived to add even more quality to an already impressive forward line. But given how well Kemar Roofe has performed this season, he looks set to keep his starting spot with Leeds’ German addition potentially coming on in the second half – provided he is not elsewhere with his partner due to give birth.

Eunan O’Kane is a doubt with a groin injury so either Mateusz Klich or Ronaldo Vieira will step in, while the defence picks itself for now, despite Gaetano Berardi and Matthew Pennington recently returning to training.

With all that in mind here is how we expect Leeds to line up against Burton this weekend:
