Leeds United faces West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns amid a challenging start to their 2024/25 Championship campaign, having recorded a draw and a defeat in their first two matches. Manager Daniel Farke is under pressure to turn the team's fortunes around, particularly following the anticipated sale of star player Georginio Rutter to Brighton for £40 million. West Brom, fresh off a victory against Queens Park Rangers, looks to capitalize on Leeds' defensive vulnerabilities, having conceded six goals in their first two outings. Farke's lineup may see significant changes, potentially benching Patrick Bamford and introducing new signings like Joe Rothwell to bolster midfield. The match is crucial not only for points but also for restoring fan confidence in the squad.
