Leeds United’s face a serious test of their unbeaten Championship away record with a trip to Millwall.

The Whites are the only side yet to taste defeat on the road this season, though four of those six matches have ended in draws.

Millwall will provide a very difficult challenge for Leeds as they enter the clash at the Den without a defeat in five and on the back of three wins in a row.

Neil Harris believes Leeds are the best team in the Championship this season but has very much been talking up the prospect of his in-form side facing them.

Leeds need a win if they are to climb back into the top two after Sheffield United’s impressive late comeback victory at Bristol City on Tuesday night.

Farke makes Patrick Bamford and Joe Gelhardt decision

Daniel Farke confirmed Leeds have no fresh injuries to contend with after Saturday’s simple 3-0 victory over Plymouth Argyle, in which he was able to bring off some key players before the end.

However, Farke did also reveal that late decisions would have to be made on both Patrick Bamford and Joe Gelhardt after Leeds’ final training session on Tuesday.

Bamford was suffering with an adductor issue in training last week but actually missed the game against Plymouth due to illness.

Gelhardt, meanwhile, was absent at the weekend due to a hip contusion and according to Leeds Live, Farke has made a decision on their involvement.

They report that Bamford and Gelhardt have both been named in the squad for the trip to the Den, in what will be a welcome boost for Farke.

Though it is almost certain neither will start, it does give Farke more options to change things from the bench in attack, alongside Manor Solomon and most likely Mateo Joseph.

Jayden Bogle returns for Leeds as Farke faces right-back call

Jayden Bogle was also missing from Leeds’ squad at the weekend after picking up his fifth booking of the season a week earlier at Bristol City.

Unsurprisingly, Bogle has been brought straight back into the squad for this one, and the question is now who Farke will start.

Sam Byram has played 90 minutes in each of Leeds’ last two and looked much better at right-back than at Bristol City, where he was on the other flank.

However, £5m man Bogle started each of Leeds’ opening 12 league matches and it is likely he comes straight back in for this one.
