please log in to view this image Leeds Utd v Middlesbrough Friday 31st August [email protected] Streaming link will follow Hi Folks First play second on Friday night as Tony Pulis' Boro are the visitors to Elland Road. Bielsa will be expected to field the same unchanged side that thrashed Norwich last weekend. The only change he make may is to bring Captain Liam Cooper back to the starting line up following his hamstring injury I can't see the gaffer splitting up Jansson and Berardi after their faultless display against Nowich last weekend though. Dallas, who came through the midweek loss against Preston in one piece, and is expected to be on the bench. Adam Forshaw will be available following the international break Boro's league form mirrors Leeds having won 4 and drawn 1. They will be hoping to complete the signing of Millwall's midfielder George Saville for 7m, possibly with ex Leeds target Ashley Fletcher going the other way!
Am I missing something but how can Saville be signed when window is shut? Thought it was only out of contract or loanees at this stage. Anyway. will be very interesting to see our post Preston reaction
But you said "complete the signing of Millwall's midfielder George Saville for 7m". Stop confusing me
This game is key to our season I believe. If we win we start to look ahead with confidence, if we draw we start to feel that Bielsa has really done something with this squad. If we lose we can feel proud of giving them a game because after all they have been favs for promotion for months. It will also mean we can lower our expectations slightly and hope for top 6 and take some pressure off the team.
