Leeds United will look to ease concerns over their away form when they go to Preston North End on Saturday. Daniel Farke’s side have been imperious at home, with Tuesday’s 3-1 win over Middlesbrough their eighth in a row, but that dominance has not been present on the road and a recent 1-0 defeat at Blackburn Rovers typified their away-day issues.
Tuesday’s win over Boro was a real boost for Leeds but it did not come without a couple of fitness concerns, with certain positions already thinly-stretched amid longer-term problems. Preston bagged their first win since mid-October at Cardiff City on Wednesday and look set to have a fully fit squad - although not everyone will be available this weekend.
Below, the YEP has rounded up the latest injury news from both sides ahead of Saturday’s Deepdale meeting.

8. Joe Rothwell - doubt
Also looked to have been dealing with a knock before he came off. No real issue of anything serious initially but Farke will provide an update on Friday. | Getty Images
