Leeds United team news confirmed vs Watford as Daniel Farke resists suspension urge
Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has made no changes to his starting lineup to face Watford at Elland Road this evening.
The Whites' boss has opted not to recall last Friday night's result-clinching goalscorer Mateo Joseph to the starting XI in place of Dutchman Joel Piroe, who has made a name for himself coming off the bench at the beginning of this season.
Joseph was rested from the start in games against Sunderland and Sheffield United and will remain on the bench from the off at Elland Road tonight with Piroe starting at No. 9.
Piroe registered his second assist of the season last Friday night, threading through strike partner Joseph to make sure of all three points in the closing stages.
Leeds are unchanged, even with three defenders on four yellow cards so far this campaign. Joe Rodon, Jayden Bogle and Junior Firpo have all accrued four bookings and will walk a suspension tightrope until the 19th gameweek of the season, if they are to avoid a one-match suspension.
Watford are without a win away from home since the opening day of the Championship season and have picked up no points in each of their last four away league games.
Tom Cleverley's side are without experienced central defender Angelo Ogbonna or summer signing Kevin Keben through injury as they seek to better their record on the road which has seen them win once in the last ten.
Leeds XI: Meslier, Bogle, Rodon, Struijk (c), Firpo, Tanaka, Rothwell, Gnonto, Ramazani, Aaronson, Piroe
Subs: Darlow, Byram, Schmidt, Debayo, Crew, Solomon, James, Joseph, Bamford
