Leeds United team news vs Brentford – fan reactions and comments

Leeds United have had a great start to the 2018/19 Sky Bet Championship season, sitting atop the pile and definitely looking pretty in a three-way, 22-point group that also includes Middlesbrough and Sheffield United.

Today’s opponents Brentford are sitting just inside the play-off places and will present a stern test of Marcelo Bielsa’s footballing nous today. They are an attacking side, a side that play a dangerous game of football and are led by a nine-goal leading scorer in Frenchman Neal Maupay.

Leeds United’s all-round game has improved massively under Bielsa this season. This top-spot placing has been achieved with largely the same group of players who finished in a disappointing 13th place last season after a similar, scintillating start to their campaign as this season has seen.

The above shows confirmation of the one enforced change with Stuart Dallas coming in to replace the injured Barry Douglas. It is Dallas’ first start in the league since April as he starts against his old club.

On the bench it is largely an unchanged set of subsitutes apart from teen striker Ryan Edmondson coming in to take the vacant spot left by Dallas’ promotion to the starting line-up.
