Daniel Farke may look to give a few players a chance when Leeds United take on Bristol City in the Championship.

While promotion back to the Premier League is secured, the Whites would still want to win their two remaining games and be the champions.

On 28 April, they will be playing their final game at Elland Road this season and will be eyeing the three points.

Farke could ring in two changes

It was hard to fault anyone in their last Championship game as they ran out 6-0 winners over a hapless Stoke City side.

Joel Piroe led the line and scored four goals as he proved to be a nightmare for the Stoke defenders to deal with.

Patrick Bamford came off the bench in that one and given how erratic his fitness has been, there is every chance he could be sold in the summer.

This could thus be his last ever start at Elland Road and Farke may be tempted to give him 60 minutes.

He can come in for Brenden Aaronson, a first-team regular, who's not been performing well recently, with Piroe moving to the number 10 role.

The other change would be to give Junior Firpo a breather after an incredible game against Stoke City.

Sam Byram has not done too badly at left-back and could do with the extra minutes with two games to go.

This could even be Farke's last home game in charge and it could be an emotional occasion for the fans as well as the German.

While he failed to get Leeds over the line last season, he managed to get the job done this time around.

Brought in due to his reputation as a promotion specialist, he has delivered for Leeds United and this could be the ideal farewell for him.

Whether or not the owners continue with him or opt for another manager remains to be seen, but he can hold his head up high regardless.
