On paper this should be a belter. Intriguing to see what Swansea do in regards to do they keep playing there way and stand toe to toe with us or do they do what's proven to be effective and pack the middle and get men behind the ball. Going for 2-2 draw and a good game.

2-0
We will dominate but need time to break them down

Bamford with both

Agree with side..

2-0.. christiano Bamford with both

Manager Steve Cooper : plucked from managing England u17s.

It’s kind of early in the season to get the jitters about games, but is this a defining game for us? We win and we feel good....we lose and we feel not so good - but there again, Stoke could win the league right?

Feeling uneasy about this one. Swansea will pose two serious questions - how will we deal with their pace and their height? They also have a fine playmaker in Van der Horn. They defend well and they were patient against a stubborn Brum team last week. Ayew, Celina and Baston are real threats. I can see us dominating possession but getting hit on the break. 2-1 Swansea. Consolation goal for Costa. Sorry!

Leeds to edge out a three or five goal affair.

We appear, Carabao Cup excepting, to have learnt from our mistakes last year.

I suspect impact from the bench will be the difference between the two sides.

Bamford, White and Nketiah in a 3-2 victory or Bamford & Nketiah in a 2-1 result.

Kebab, brilliant research and thanks.. interesting when you compare to our first team

Thanks Kebab - some serious food for thought to mull over there.

The forward line looks very good for this level and their midfield looks pretty solid.

I would be happy with a draw.

Morning fellow Leeds fans so today could be a test for us according to some fans.
I honestly think we will beat Swansea 2-0 with Hernandez and Costa scoring our goals in what should be a good game and with a full house again the atmosphere will be great.
Come on Leeds....MOT

Gonna be a barn stormer! They have pace in abundance going forward. However I think we may expose them a bit today.

First time this season I’m able to make a game and can’t wait.

Should be a proper game between 2 sides that are flying.

2-1 Leeds. Costa brace off the bench.

If (big if) we get an early goal, I think we'll win comfortably.

But I can see this being a tight and scrappy game that could go either way.

I'll stay positive though.

Leeds 1 - 0 Swansea

Nketiah from the bench.

Condolences Snapski

LUDO is a great organisation.

RIP Andy

Sorry to hear your news snapski, best wishes at this time.

That was sad to hear Snapski. Condolences

Sitting in a hotel in Tenerife, with a rather poor internet-line.
Anyone who knows what speed I need to stream the game from the Leeds website?

Sorry to hear that. I know what you're going through, snapski, and I hope you're ok.

Rip Andy.

sorry to hear the news Snapski

Can't make it to the game today. Hopefully find a stream somewhere.

Expecting a win. Be interesting to see how defensive Swansea go. Think everyone knows that the best chance they have is to forget trying to play football, don't worry about the ball too much, and simply just hold shape in tight & deep in a bank of 5 & 4.

It's all sides do to us now. It basically gifts us 20 attempts at goal minimum but makes it almost impossible to create space for very good chances. Sides just hope we dont take one of the 20+ half chances. More often than not a side will though. But that's still the oppositions best chance.

The dilemma is about pride and fans. Can a manager really accept his side cannot compete and has to resort to the above strategy? The lower & mid table sides can. more difficult for those challenging near the top. Hopefully Swansea try to compete

Leeds team : Casilla, Alioski, White, Cooper, Dallas, Phillips, Klich, Harrison, Forshaw, Hernandez, Bamford
