Boss Daniel Farke named an unchanged side for Wednesday night’s Championship hosting of Norwich City in which a first-half Patrick Bamford header from a Dan James cross secured a 1-0 victory and a fifth win on the spin. But Leeds were already without four injured players and for the contest the Whites then saw two more go off during the success.
Plymouth, meanwhile, had two men out for last weekend’s league hosting of Cardiff City in which Ian Foster’s side recorded a 3-1 victory. But Foster will be without three players who featured against the Bluebirds for the weekend trip to Leeds. Here, we run though the injuries and absentees from both camps which has left a full team of players out.

Cresswell has not been involved of late due to uncertainty about his future but Farke revealed on Friday that Cresswell was effectively now back in the mix with the door open upon deciding that he wanted to stay and fight for his place. Photo: George Wood
