The Llorente derby
The most obvious connection between these two clubs before the match was Diego Llorente’s recent transfer. The 29-year-old spent three years with Real Sociedad prior to joining Leeds United after promotion.
Llorente was in his civvies at Elland Road on Friday night though. After fracturing a hand during the training camp in his homeland last week, he missed some full sessions, but was then seen in the thick of the action at Thorp Arch this week.
