Everything you need to know about Leeds United's trip to Aston Villa
Team changes: Farke made a number of changes to the last time Leeds played in the league at Chelsea. Bijol, Bornauw and Nmecha all dropped out the side, with Struijk, Calvert-Lewin and Stach returning.
Justin's time: The fact Justin was selected ahead of Bijol underlines his position in this Leeds team right now and how he has won the trust of Farke, with his adaptability no doubt key. We saw that adaptability second-half when he moved to left-back.
He can hit them!: From 40 yards out, Stach reminded everyone on his return of what he is capable of doing from distance.
Frustration: Leeds may be frustrated by seeing the win escape them, but still took a step towards Premier League safety with a point at third-placed Villa. It's a point most will have surely taken before the game and edges them onto 31 points will 11 games to go.
Stat attack: Villa dominated possession with 67% of the ball, as they would expect being the home team. However, they only had four shots on target, the same as Leeds.
Away blues: It was a very good away performance from Leeds against a good side who are pushing for Champions League football, but the late dropped points means the wait for a win on the road continues. Leeds have now won just one of 14 Premier League away games so far this season.
Point could be even more useful: Leeds will have one eye now on today's games with Liverpool and Arsenal at Nottingham Forest and Tottenham respectively. A win on the road for the pair will mean the Whites have gone a further point clear of two relegation rivals, having matched what West Ham did last night.
