Leeds United visit Russell Martin's Southampton at St Mary's Stadium in the Championship on Saturday afternoon and here are five things to look out for around the match
Should Leeds United avoid defeat at Southampton it will stretch their unbeaten run to seven matches. The last time they preserved a record of that length was the last time they were in the Championship.
Jamie Shackleton is among those who can feel hard done by if he, again, makes way after playing well. Farke has made no secret of his respect for Ayling as an option at right-back. Central midfield will be a tight call too. Glen Kamara is more experienced and seasoned than Archie Gray, but the 17-year-old has been a special ingredient in the middle for Farke this season.Few people will forget being inside Elland Road to watch Georginio Rutter break new ground last weekend. The French forward cut loose and seemed to be on another level to anyone else on the pitch by the time the shackles were coming off the second-half runaway train.
The Saints boss has made it clear there was no fall-out between him and Farke in what became an amicable situation that made it clear Martin was not in the new boss’s plans at 31 years old. While there is respect between the two, it will be intriguing to see how emotions play out on the touchline in a high-stakes game for the hosts.
