PRE-MATCH STATS
Leeds have lost just one of their last seven league games against Barnsley (W5 D1), winning each of the last three since a 3-2 defeat in January 2017.
Barnsley will be aiming to pick up their first league victory at Elland Road since November 2011 (2-1), going winless in their four visits since (D1 L3).
Leeds remain unbeaten at Elland Road since a 0-1 defeat to Wigan in February (P6 W5 D1), keeping five clean sheets in their last six such games.
Barnsley have kept seven clean sheets in their last 11 Championship games (W5 D3 L3), having kept just three shutouts in their opening 32 matches of this campaign.
Pablo Hernández has had a hand in three goals in his last two appearances for Leeds (2 goals & 1 assist), scoring in back-to-back league games for the first time since the opening two games of this season – the Spaniard last scored in three successive Championship matches in November 2018.
With Barnsley fighting for survival in the Championship we certainly don't want to underestimate them, they've managed a few credible performances over the season, but as our last two games prove the Team are fighting for this and certainly deserve their results, I'm up for a 3-1 Win with Harrison Bamford and White to score (I'd love to see White get a goal )

That was a nasty little challenge from Mowatt. Well after the ball gad gone. Gone off him now!

really, grow up
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Grow up? He smashes into him after the ball was well gone. Dirty and nasty. Probably cracked a rib too.

He shoved him over, wasn't exactly a rugby tackle. Think Costa landed awkwardly.

Yeah, it was a sh. 1 t move by Mowatt.

He wasn't intending to injure him, but it was horribly cynical. Ball had already well gone, and there was no chance of Costa doing anything from there.

Exactly! It was no accident. OK he might have fallen awkwardly but you tend to do that when you are pushed under a bus as well.
It was just a cynical act from someone who seems to have a beef about not being good enough for the club he's supposed to love.
An apology from him might be a good start.

Always makes me smile when I see these still going! Hope you are all well. x
