Leeds United v Coventry City – Dreadful Daniel Farke blunder may prove costly
Daniel Farke has named the playing eleven as Leeds United play host to Coventry City at Elland Road on 28 September.
Joel Piroe, despite scoring against Cardiff City has been named on the bench with Mateo Joseph leading the line.
Pascal Struijk starts at centre-back alongside Joe Rodon while Patrick Bamford is on the bench.
Joel Piroe should be starting for Leeds United
The Dutchman is Championship proven and is on the back of scoring a goal in the last game so he merits a start at Elland Road.
Joseph has shown signs of brilliance this term but it may be too big a responsibility too soon for him to lead the line regularly.
He’s just bagged one goal in six Championship appearances and this could’ve been the ideal game to start Piroe.
It may prove costly if the 20-year-old struggles to get into the game and that could see Farke making a change at half-time.
Leeds United have to pick up three points v Coventry City
Leeds will expect to secure three points against Coventry City due to their recent form and home advantage.
Coming off a convincing victory over Cardiff City, the Whites are buoyed by momentum and confidence, especially with key players like Largie Ramazani and Piroe finding the net.
At Elland Road, where they have a strong record, Leeds typically perform better, harnessing the support of their fans.
Moreover, Coventry’s inconsistent start to the season, with only one win from six games, suggests vulnerabilities that Farke’s side could exploit.
