Farke could be tempted into making as many as three changes to his line-up in the West Midlands this Friday night, especially after expressing his displeasure at Leeds’ attacking mentality during the first half at Deepdale on Boxing Day.
Sam Byram’s availability is a boost considering the team have won just once without him since picking up a hamstring injury at Ewood Park two-and-a-half weeks ago. Meanwhile, Willy Gnonto looked bright off the bench in the defeat by Preston North End and could be thrown into the action at The Hawthorns if Farke wants to try a different element to his attacking equation.
This is, of course, in addition to the one enforced change Leeds’ boss will make: Karl Darlow in for the suspended Illan Meslier.
