A look at the options Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has at his disposal for tonight's crucial Championship match at Queens Park Rangers
Leeds United are preparing for their final away fixture of a captivating 2023/24 season. A win at Queens Park Rangers tonight would see them move four points clear in the Championship automatic promotion race.
It is crunch time in the fight for a top-two finish and Daniel Farke has backed his young squad to rise to the occasion. "If you want to change your approach during an important game, you have to believe in your players," he said. "We are working on these topics on the training pitch. We can play in different set-ups - whether we have to switch from man to zone-oriented structure, sit deeper or the other way around.
Winger Dan James and full-back Connor Roberts are ruled out of the trip to the capital and Patrick Bamford is to be given a late fitness test. Farke admitted Bamford would probably be fit if the match was played over the weekend. Joe Rodon and Sam Byram are in contention to start at Loftus Road after proving their fitness to the club's medical staff since Monday's entertaining win at Middlesbrough.Leeds United squad for QPR: Meslier, Darlow, Klaesson, Gray, Rodon, Firpo, Byram, Cooper, Cresswell, Shackleton, Ampadu, Kamara, Gruev, Gnonto, Summerville, Anthony, Bamford, Piroe, Rutter, Gelhardt, Joseph.
