Analysis:
The Whites are coming on the back off a 1-0 loss to the Wolves and they would be itching to turn things around. The young French goalkeeper of Leeds, Illan Meslier has been under the scanner for his paltry performances. He has conceded 4 goals against Arsenal and handed an own goal to the Wolves in their previous game. Though the Leeds are 10 points clear of relegation, they would be wary of their dwindling performances which has brought them down to the 12th position.
Ralph Hasenhuttl’s team have had a torrid time themselves. They have only won once in their last-12 top-flight matches and are on a five-match winless streak in the Premier League. They need a quick turnaround before the relegation scare kicks in.
