Leeds United line-up vs Brentford as Bamford and Cresswell are tasked with staying up

Magic poured from Jesse Marsch’s mouth when he finally let our imaginations run wild with Patrick Bamford’s Leeds United return. As cautious as the head coach tried to be, it was clear the number nine is going to be on the bench at the very least this Sunday.
