Leeds United welcome Watford to Elland on Saturday afternoon aiming to pick up their first home win of the season in the Championship.
Daniel Farke’s side drew 2-2 with Cardiff City in a dramatic opening fixture before Luke Ayling rescued a point against West Brom in a 1-1 draw. A 0-0 stalemate with Sheffield Wednesday on September 2 was the club’s last home outing. Leeds have had back-to-back away fixtures at Millwall and Hull City after the international break but will end their three-week wait for an Elland Road return against Watford.
Farke has a handful of injury concerns heading into the game with the Hornets while there are just a couple of concerns for Watford. Below we run through all the players likely to miss the Elland Road outing.
