Back on the campaign trail and what can only be described as a beautiful headache for Thomas Christiansen for the visit of Preston to Elland Road.
Venue Elland Road...Date..12 Aug...Kick Off..15:00hrs
Team News
TC has confirmed both Bridcutt and Klich won't feature so it looks like Ronaldo Vieira will be back in the squad, though he’ll probably be on the bench with Kalvin Phillips and Eunan O’Kane starting.
Pontus Is Back
Green, Pennington and Berardi are all out injured.
Preston
New signing Josh Harrop could make the Preston squad for the first time since joining from Manchester United.
Harrop has been made to wait to make his debut after picking up a calf injury in pre-season.

Match facts
◾Leeds have won four of their last five league games against Preston (D1), including both matches last season; they've never won three successive league contests against Preston.
◾The Lilywhites have only won on one of their last eight league visits to Elland Road (D2 L5), coming from 4-1 down to beat Leeds in a 6-4 thriller in September 2010.
◾Kalvin Phillips (2) scored as many league goals versus Bolton last Sunday as he had in his previous 45 league apps for Leeds United.
◾Preston, who won on opening weekend versus Sheffield Wednesday, haven't won their opening two league games of a league season since 2008-09.
◾Preston have kept just two clean sheets in their last 10 Championship matches, however the most recent of those came in their season opener against Sheffield Wednesday (1-0).
◾Only Tom Cairney (8) has provided more assists in the Championship in 2017 than Leeds' Pablo Hernandez (7).
Right, so a Good game and sell-out crowd expected for our first Home Game of the current Championship campaign, can we get the win? ...................Course we Can.............2-0 with Wood and Roofe Scoring, (either of these could mean I spelled Saiz wrong )
So come on....................................Over To You...............................................Let's hear the 3-0 Saiz Hat Trick Predictions ........................

30,000 attendance on and we can't put in a decent shift. Not good enough.

Honeymoon over, Christiansen out.
Picked last year's team and they played like last year's team. I could have done that. I'll text Radz and let him know I'm available.

It will take time for new players to get used to Championship, don't get carried away with the Port Vale result.

Why was Roofe substituted and not Pablo?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They should have both been subbed. Neither at the races today.

I wouldnt worry about what the bookies and pundits think if i was you....they tend to favour clubs they have a connection with and talk complete bollox and get it wrong 100% of the time!
First prediction we would be relegated...then it wont last...then weds will beat em....then reading will beat them........then we havnt a hope of staying up and palace will muller us!!
You have had a steady start and imo as long as you keep woody and the crowd stay on the teams side you should finish top six
