Leeds United host Gareth Ainsworth's Queens Park Rangers at Elland Road in the Championship on Wednesday night and here are five things to look out for around the match
Any omission of Joe Rodon from tonight’s Leeds United line-up surely has to be Daniel Farke on the wind-up. The Wales international has arguably been the team’s best defender, was left out on Saturday and proceeded to watch his team-mates get pulled apart by Southampton.
Jamie Shackleton has been serviceable in several roles this season, but will Farke be tempted to go back to experience after Saturday’s disappointment?Jaidon Anthony has been limited to four cameos up to now, but he has looked bright enough in each of them to justify a full debut, especially after the weekend struggles for the front four. A freshen-up might not be a bad thing.
Queens Park Rangers do not quite tick the same boxes, especially on the road. In short, this is absolutely the kind of game Leeds need to be taking care of if they are serious about being promoted this season, especially off the back of that weekend pain they want to forget about.Gareth Ainsworth is widely expected to set his QPR side up in a low block with a five-man defence and nine or 10 players behind the ball. We have been here before, so many times, with Leeds in the Championship.
