Leeds United man named in Championship Team of the Week alongside Norwich City, Millwall and Ipswich stars

One Leeds United player has been named in the Championship Team of the Week following their win over Sheffield Wednesday on Friday night. The Whites moved back into the automatic promotion spots with a 2-0 victory over their Yorkshire rivals, with Patrick Bamford and Wilfried Gnonto bagging the goals.

However, after helping Leeds to pick up their ninth clean sheet in their last 12 Championship games, Junior Firpo has been recognised by WhoScored.com. The left-back claimed an assist on the night as he delivered the inch-perfect cross for Bamford to open the scoring just before the break.

And, while he was challenged defensively, the Dominican looked a threat going forward in the second half of the contest. Whoscored, then, have given him a rating of 8.2, making him the highest scoring left-back in the Championship over the weekend.

He features in a Team of the Week that includes five Norwich players following the Canaries' 5-0 win over Rotherham United at Carrow Road. Jack Stacey, Jacob Sorensen, Borja Sainz, Josh Sargent and Gabriel Sara have all been named, with the later earning himself a perfect rating of 10 after bagging two goals and an assist.

Ipswich Town's Kieffer Moore features up front, despite Ipswich's later than late collapse against Cardiff City to bolster the Whites' hopes of automatic promotion. While, Millwall, Leeds' next Championship opponents, have seen George Saville and defender Japhet Tanganga included.

The Lions beat Birmingham City at The Den on Saturday afternoon and having won three of their last four under new boss Neil Harris, they'll be confident of causing an upset at Elland Road on Sunday. Leeds will be looking to extend their unbeaten run in the Championship to 13 games when they host the south Londoners. West Bromwich Albion's Okay Yokuslu and Birmingham City goalkeeper John Ruddy complete the XI.
