There is just under a week to go until Leeds United return to Premier League action. Next up for Daniel Farke's side is a trip to Fulham.
It has been a difficult start to the campaign for the Cottagers. They are third-from-bottom in the embryonic table and have yet to record a win this season.
Marco Silva’s team went into the international break on the back of a controversial 2-0 defeat at Chelsea. A big blunder from video assistant referee Michael Salisbury saw Josh King wrongly have a goal chalked off at Stamford Bridge. The strike was incorrectly disallowed following a VAR intervention for a foul by United summer transfer target Rodrigo Muniz in the build-up.
Fulham's loss to Chelsea followed back-to-back draws with Brighton and Hove Albion and Manchester United. They recorded a comfortable home win over Bristol City in the Carabao Cup prior to the Blues encounter.
It remains to be seen if Silva will be able to call upon Issa Diop against the Whites. The centre-back is a big injury concern, having sat-out the Blues clash after sustaining a minor knock in the Robins tie.
United, meanwhile, will be hoping Ethan Ampadu and Ao Tanaka shake off their respective knee injuries and are passed fit to play. Key defender Joe Rodon is expected to be available for selection, despite withdrawing from international duty with Wales this week.
