As the big game draws closer, we have rounded up all the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding Elland Road.

Piper on 'psychological' test

Former Leicester City star turned BBC Sport pundit Matt Piper as been speaking about Friday's night's big Championship clash. He said: "I think with Leeds being in third place and already sort of 14 points adrift of our position, there is more on this game just because of the psychological aspect.

"I know this is early in the season, but if you have a good performance and beat Leeds, the rest of the division will be thinking ‘wow’. There is more of a psychological aspect to this game than just three points.”

Summerville claim

Leeds have been tipped to sell stand-out star Crysencio Summerville amid building interest following his superb start to the season witht he Whites. Journalist Suleyman Ozturk has said, as per TeamTalk: "He is one of, if not the best player in the Championship.. Clubs will come for him in January. Because they are looking for players who can make a difference. And he can.

“He is important with through passes, pulls two to three opponents with him and can play someone out. He reminds me a bit of Kaoru Mitoma. He really is a complete left winger. The Championship is a playground for him.”
