Leeds United, Recent FormThe 1-0 away defeat to Birmingham City will not have sat easily with the Leeds United squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They came away from that fixture with 59% of the possession and clocked up 7 attempts on goal with 1 on target. By comparison, Birmingham City managed 10 attempts on goal, with 2 on target.
They have bagged 7 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 14 times in that period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 16 games.
A win for Leeds United is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 11 games.
Luis Sinisterra will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Leeds United.
West Bromwich Albion, Recent FormWest Bromwich Albion will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 3-2 winners in their home fixture against Swansea City. In that game they had 42% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Swansea City who had 13 attempts and 4 on target.
Carlos Corberán, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 12 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 9 goals scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
Losing 4 of their last 6 games will be causing some concern in the West Brom camp, but their 2 wins salvaged some valuable points.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for West Bromwich Albion, Matt Phillips will be looking to add more goals against Leeds United in this match.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 3-1 win for Leeds United.
Leeds will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against The Baggies having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 8 meetings. In their recent meetings The Whites have had no problem breaking down West Brom's defence, having found the back of the net 14 times in their last 5 games. West Brom have struggled to break down The Whites defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
West Brom have lost the last 3 times they've have visited Leeds in the league and have failed to win any of their last 3 encounters at Elland Road.
Patrick Bamford will be feeling confident about scoring for Leeds ahead of this encounter with West Brom, having netted 3 goals in the past 3 league meetings between these two at Elland Road.
Leeds manager Daniel Farke has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Tyler Adams (Hamstring), Patrick Bamford (Unknown), Stuart Dallas (Broken hip), Cody Drameh (Unknown), Júnior Firpo (Unknown), Sam Greenwood (Unknown), Jack Harrison (Unknown) and Georginio Rutter (Unknown) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Daryl Dike (Achilles tendon) and Adam Reach (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Carlos Corberán will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
