    Leeds Utd v Swansea City
    29th November@19:45 | Elland Road

    Leeds Utd hope to get back to winning ways midweek, when Michael Duff's Swansea City visit Elland Road.

    The Whites remain the only unbeaten home side in the Championship this season, and are desperate for maximum points, to close the gap on the top two. They face a Jacks side with one win in six, and are fourteen places and twelve points behind them.

    The two sides last met during Leeds Championship winning campaign (19/20), with both sides sharing three points a-piece curtesy of last minute goals away from home!

    Daniel Farke must decide whether to risk Pascal Struijk, so soon after hernia surgery. The 24yo came on for the last 10 minutes of the Rotherham game after Liam Cooper limped off with what looked like a hamstring strain. Charlie Cresswell stands by.

    Like so many, Junior Firpo's display on Friday evening gave a lot to be desired, but with Byram struggling for fitness, should retain his place. Djed Spence is pushing for game time, following his return to fitness after his knee injury, which saw the on-loan Spurs defender sidelined for eight weeks.

    Jamie Shackleton and Joe Gelhardt could both make the bench whilst Stuart Dallas remains a long term absentee. Joel Piroe, Dan James and Matt Grimes all face their former clubs.

    Is it likely to be as tough as drumming up some interest in it on here ?

    Hull beat them easily tonight and showed everyone why Rotherham are 23rd in the League and that's now 4 points that we've absolutely squandered against the 2 worst teams in our division.

    Back to back home games, you’d hope 6 points if we’re going up in one of the two automatic spots.

    If I were a Swansea fan, I’d hate seeing James and Piroe lining up against me.

    Both to score 2-0 Leeds

    We have to put teams like Rotherham away with ease, we are not cynical enough!!!! there seems to be something missing from the team that i cannot put my finger on it, do we banish players like Cooper, Bamford, Ayling etc and get the younger players on the bench and start introducing them? Wait for the transfer window? there are a lot of points to be played for over the next month and we can not afford to drop points like we did last Friday.

    Let's make sure we don't feed the birds tonight! With the foxes, saints and tractors all in action we mustn't drop any points to our visitors and ensure they go back to the valleys hungry....no time for any Christmas cheer on our part :emoticon-0173-middl

    Josh Key makes his first start for Swansea City since the defeat to Leicester City as Michael Duff makes one change for tonight’s meeting with Leeds United at Elland Road.

    Key, who returned from a calf injury as a late substitute in the weekend draw with Hull, comes in for Harrison Ashby, who suffered a hamstring injury against the Tigers.

    The Swans are otherwise unchanged from Saturday, although there is a place for new signing Yannick Bolasie among the substitutes.

    Carl Rushworth continues in goal, while Key joins Ben Cabango, Bashir Humphreys and Josh Tymon in the Swansea defence.

    Captain Matt Grimes and Jay Fulton are paired together in midfield, with Jamal Lowe, Jamie Paterson and Ollie Cooper operating ahead of them.

    Jerry Yates is up top for the Swans, with Liam Cullen on the bench on his return from suspension.

    The hosts include former Swans Joe Rodon, Dan James and Joel Piroe in their starting line-up.

    Swansea City: Carl Rushworth, Josh Key, Jay Fulton, Ben Cabango, Matt Grimes (captain), Jerry Yates, Jamal Lowe, Jamie Paterson, Josh Tymon, Ollie Cooper, Bashir Humphreys.

    Substitutes: Andy Fisher, Harry Darling, Yannick Bolasie, Charlie Patino, Liam Cullen, Nathan Tjoe-A-On, Kyle Naughton, Liam Walsh, Cameron Congreve.

    Leeds United: Ilian Meslier, Ethan Ampadu, Joel Piroe, Glen Kamara, Crysencio Summerville, Joe Rodon, Dan James, Pascal Struijk (captain), Archie Gray, Georginio Rutter, Sam Byram.

    Substitutes: Karl Darlow, Junior Firpo, Liam Cooper, Patrick Bamford, Jaidon Anthony, Ian Poveda, Wilfried Gnonto, Djed Spence, Ilia Gruev.
