Leeds Utd v Birmingham City Matchday Thread

Here it is for all of us not fortunate enough to be part of the sell out crowd to welcome back Garry Monk to Elland Road
It's been stated elsewhere that GM is turning Brum into a hard to break down team, Hopefully we'll manage it and end the day with another 3 points

Venue ...Elland Road...Date...22nd Sept...Kick Off 15:00hrs

Team News
Leeds United still without Midfielder Pablo Hernandez (hamstring), defender Gaetano Berardi (knee) and strikers Kemar Roofe (calf) and Patrick Bamford (knee) .
Bielsa not expected to make any changes to the side that cruised past Preston on Tues night.

Birmingham
Monk hopes to have midfielders Maikel Kieftenbeld and Craig Gardner fit.
Kieftenbeld missed Wednesday night's goalless draw at Sheffield United, while Gardner has been sidelined for the last two matches.
But Monk could opt to keep faith with Charlie Lakin, who made his first start for the club in midweek.

Match facts
Leeds have won only two of their last eight home matches against Birmingham City in all competitions.
Birmingham have not won consecutive league matches against Leeds since winning five in a row between February 2007 and April 2013.
For the 13th consecutive league meeting between Leeds and Birmingham at Elland Road, the hosts will have a different manager in charge - Bremner, Wilkinson, Venables, Reid, Carver, Grayson, Warnock, McDermott, Redfearn, Rosler, Monk, Christiansen and Bielsa.
Birmingham have won one of their last 23 Saturday away matches in all competitions.
Leeds are looking to remain unbeaten in their first nine games of a league campaign for the first time since the 2009-10 League One season.

There you go then, Brum may be hard to break down but i reckon another sharp performance from the Lads should give us a nice 2-0 win, fully expect Roberts to get another with either Saiz or Alioski getting on the scoresheet.................
