Leeds United are back on the road tonight as they take on in-form Coventry City. It promises to be a stern examination of the Whites’ title credentials as the Sky Blues enter the clash on the back of four consecutive Championship wins.

 

Manager Daniel Farke will have a strong squad to choose from for the trip to the Coventry Building Society Arena. Striker Patrick Bamford (hamstring) is their only absentee.

 

It will be interesting to see if Farke opts to tinker with his starting XI following their 7-0 demolition of Cardiff City last weekend. Centre-back Pascal Struijk is in contention for a recall after recovering from his hamstring issue. Struijk entered the fray as a late substitute at Elland Road on Saturday as the Whites recorded their biggest victory since 1972.

“Pascal is a key player for us. It’s about finding the right moment to bring him back into the starting line-up,” said Farke. “Won’t speak too much in public about it. There is a moment he will be back. Pretty sure when I do, he will deliver.”

If Farke opts to hand Struijk a start, the smart money would be on Ethan Ampadu moving into midfield to play alongside Ao Tanaka in the double pivot role. It is unlikely Farke will alter his front four. Daniel James, Brenden Aaronson, Manor Solomon and Joel Piroe all got on the scoresheet in the Cardiff drubbing.

 

Since shipping in three goals at relegation-haunted Hull City on January January 4, United have recorded five clean sheets on the bounce across all competitions.

 

Leeds United squad vs Coventry City: Meslier, Darlow, Cairns, Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Debayo, Schmidt, Wober, Firpo, James, Gnonto, Gruev, Ampadu, Rothwell, Tanaka, Guilavogui, Solomon, Ramazani, Aaronson, Joseph, Piroe.
