Leeds' recent form has seen the team close the gap on automatic promotion to eight points with Leicester City and Ipswich Town slipping up in weeks past. The top two's surge to the summit of the Championship table is the topic of much debate in Leeds fans' circles, debating whether the pair have the endurance to keep the chasing pack at arm's length.

United's Friday night fixture scheduling offers Leeds the chance to cut the top two's joint-eight-point lead to just five ahead of their Saturday engagements with Watford and West Bromwich Albion, respectively.

Farke welcomed five players back to team training this week, two of which returning earlier than anticipated, and a certain Djed Spence who has spent the last eight weeks out with a knee injury. He is in contention to be named on the bench this weekend.

Georginio Rutter picked up an abdominal strain on international duty with France's Under-21s and was labelled a 'major doubt' by the manager on Wednesday afternoon. He is subject to a late fitness test, which could hand Patrick Bamford a first start of the 2023/24 season.

FT: Rotherham 1-1 Leeds

A missed opportunity. Player ratings to follow on the YEP website.

All hands to the pump

90+5' Summerville nicks it inside the D but his shot is low and tame. Johansson holds. That'll be it, I think.

90+3' Summerville wide of the mark from the free-kick.

90+2' Gnonto fouled right on the edge. Free-kick...

90' GOOO...Offside. Leeds think they've won it but there's a flag on the near side. Bamford penalised.

Five minutes added.

84' Struijk heads just wide of the mark after a short corner routine was hung up to the back post. Jaidon Anthony on for Dan James now, too.

82' Bamford shoots from distance and it's not far away at all. Almost kisses the right-hand post.

80' Struijk on for Cooper. Skipper looked to be struggling for last couple of minutes. Holding his glute.

79' Cooper breezed past by Rotherham's Onyedinma. Millers man shoots and Meslier is out with a smothering save. Needed to be there.

76' Cooper tackles and Ampadu tidies up in Leeds' half before setting James free. His big switch meets Gnonto's run perfectly and the Italian shoots just over the top of the bar from the corner of the penalty area.
