Alex Neil thinks he’s already found the weakness of Leeds United, it could spell trouble for Daniel Farke

Leeds United and Daniel Farke will be hoping to pick themselves up against Millwall on Wednesday night.

The Whites fell to a consecutive game without gaining three points, as the annual bottle from Leeds seems to be taking place.

Farke will want to make sure there are no signs of this though, and can do so with a win at Elland Road.

It will be interesting to see who the Leeds boss selects, as fans are asking for Farke to drop Brendan Aaronson.

The door could open for other players to take centre-stage, but Millwall manager Alex Neil already has an advantage over Leeds, which doesn’t bode well for the encounter.

Alex Neil thinks he’s found Leeds United’s weakness ahead of Millwall clash

This will be the third meeting between the Whites and the Lions, as despite Leeds having almost 30 points on Millwall, they might not emerge as favourites after recent history.

The East-London side have managed to triumph over Leeds on both occasions this season, winning 1-0 in the league in November and after Millwall’s 2-0 FA Cup win over Leeds.

Farke has a bogey team in Millwall, as Neil might be more excited than expected ahead of the clash.

This comes after what the Millwall boss said in his post-match press conference after the FA Cup win in January, which spells trouble for Farke.

“I thought the first 75 minutes we carried a real threat and more importantly, we made Leeds work,” Neil said.

“We sort of gave ourselves a breather with the ball at times where we could move the ball and retain it and made them have to come out and try and get it back off.”

Farke needs to make changes for Leeds vs Millwall, Gnonto should start

It would be a dreadful decision for Farke not to make any changes ahead of the clash on Wednesday night.

The Leeds boss has kept pretty much the same team for the last 12 Championship games and now form is beginning to dip it’s clear a change is needed.

Aaronson could fall into the category of being replaced, as Wilfried Gnonto’s limited minutes show he needs to start.

This could be alongside other changes in the team, including a potential striker change, as Joel Piroe left Farke ‘most-disappointed’ vs Portsmouth.

Neil has a few tricks up his sleeve, but Farke won’t help himself if he doesn’t add some fresh ideas to the squad.
