Leeds United's title aspirations will be put to the test as they travel to Derby County for a crucial Championship match.
Leeds United 's title ambitions will be put to the test when they face Derby County away tomorrow. Derby, led by Paul Warne, are coming off a strong Boxing Day victory against playoff contenders West Bromwich Albion. Warne's team has been formidable at home this season, securing only three losses in 11 matches. United manager Daniel Farke acknowledges the challenge, stating, 'I rate Paul Warne as a coach and their home performances have been impressive.
' He emphasizes the need for his team to perform at their peak to secure a win. Farke, known for his attacking squad depth, hinted at potential changes to his starting lineup following their 2-0 win against Stoke City. Due to the quick turnaround and demanding festive schedule, he revealed he will make 'late decisions' on some players. Sam Byram and Ethan Ampadu are mentioned as potential options. With injuries to Junior Firpo and Max Wober, and Isaac Schmidt still adapting to the Championship, Farke faces limited choices at left-back. Byram's spot on the left side of the defense seems secure. A change is anticipated in central midfield, with Japan international Ao Tanaka poised for a return. Ampadu, who has started the last two games after recovering from injury, will likely be managed to avoid overexertion as he is a crucial player for the team. Farke considers Ampadu their 'best player' and aims to keep him fit for the remainder of the season, boosting their chances of returning to the Premier League
