After a disappointing draw Daniel Farke is set to unleash a secret combination against Stoke city

Leeds United could unleash a new combination against Stoke, and the writing is on the wall.

 

Leeds United will face Steven Schumacher’s Stoke City at Elland Road in the Championship on Tuesday night, and here are five key points to watch for around the match:

 

1. Despite the end of their nine-match winning streak, Leeds United’s unbeaten run remains intact. They have the opportunity to extend this streak to 11 matches by avoiding defeat against Stoke City tonight.

 

2. The last time Leeds United went on an unbeaten league run of this length was during the 2019/20 season under Marcelo Bielsa’s management. They went 11 league matches without defeat between October and December of that campaign.

 

3. Following the draw against Huddersfield Town that halted their winning streak, manager Daniel Farke is unlikely to make significant changes to his team. He recognizes the strength of his squad and will be cautious about overreacting to dropping two points.

 

4. Farke will have several options at his disposal for potential changes, but he will prioritize maintaining the cohesion and effectiveness of his team.

 

5. The match against Stoke City presents an opportunity for Leeds United to bounce back from their recent draw and continue their strong run in the Championship.

Glen Kamara didn’t perform at his peak despite being rested during the midweek match against Chelsea. Considering Connor Roberts’ impressive performance from the bench and Archie Gray’s strong presence in midfield, a potential switch-up could be in the cards.

 

Daniel Farke expressed satisfaction in confirming that Sam Byram has been participating in full training for approximately 10 days leading up to tonight’s game. With Byram now prepared for increased playing time after a couple of matches spent on the bench, the 30-year-old appears ready for his first league start since New Year’s Day.

 

The absence of Junior Firpo, who sustained a calf injury during Saturday’s draw, opens the door for Byram’s return, particularly given Firpo’s significant playing time in the absence of Byram and Jamie Shackleton.

 

Daniel James may feel unfortunate to have lost his spot in the Leeds lineup due to injury, especially considering his exceptional form. The winger had

contributed three goals and three assists in his last five appearances before sustaining an injury against Norwich City in January.

In James’s absence, Wilfried Gnonto seized the opportunity, registering five goals and an assist in five matches throughout February. Nevertheless, the

Italian’s performance has dipped in his last two starts, suggesting he may be due for rotation as James regains form on the right flank.
