Leeds United will face Brentford at Elland Road tonight, seeking to end a five-match winless streak and move away from the Premier League relegation zone.
The team is in a crucial stage of their fight for survival, sitting just three points above the drop zone. Manager Daniel Farke witnessed a strong defensive effort at Crystal Palace last weekend but understands his side must start scoring again after three games without a goal.
Leeds United team news
Farke’s squad has seen a boost with key players returning to the attack. Noah Okafor is back in action after missing five matches due to a hamstring injury.
However, Gabriel Gudmundsson is suspended, likely leading James Justin to move to left wing-back.
Anton Stach remains essential to the team’s creativity; he has created 27 chances from set-pieces this season, tied for the league lead with Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United.
Karl Darlow will start in goal, supported by a back three of Joe Rodon, Jaka Bijol, and Pascal Struijk. In midfield, Ethan Ampadu and Sean Longstaff will hold the position, with Jayden Bogle expected to return on the right side.
Brenden Aaronson and Stach will assist Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who missed an important penalty last week but is still the team’s main attacking option.
Leeds has a notable statistic, scoring over a third of their goals from set-pieces (35.1%), which they hope to capitalize on against Brentford’s strong physicality.
