Leeds United make their long-awaited return to Premier League action this weekend as they host Aston Villa at Elland Road. The Whites have had a 29-day break from when the whistle blew for full time in the 5-2 defeat at Brentford to 4.30pm on Sunday, when Steven Gerrard’s side travel to West Yorkshire.
Matches against both Nottingham Forest and Manchester United were postponed due to the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. Then came along the international break, meaning Jesse Marsch’s side have been forced to endure a massively unwanted period of time with no games.
That said, what the break has allowed Leeds to do is get some of their injured players back to full fitness. The likes of Patrick Bamford, Junior Firpo, Liam Cooper, Luke Ayling and Rodrigo Moreno are all likely to be in contention this Sunday.
