Leeds United face Preston North End away from home in the Sky Bet Championship this weekend, with more than 5,000 supporters set to follow the Whites to Lancashire.

Both teams come into the game on the back of midweek victories. Daniel Farke’s side dispatched of Middlesbrough at home, whilst PNE made the long trip back from Cardiff City with three important points.

Speaking ahead of the lunchtime kick-off this weekend, the boss gave his thoughts to the media, beginning with an update on team news.

“There are several players after the last game with some injuries, some knocks, some question marks.

“Max Wober, for example, it was a busy week for him because it was the first time in the starting lineup since ages. His knee was also a bit swollen after the last game, it has settled down, so I hope he's capable of training today.

“I hope he is available, but a late decision with Sam Byram. He just came back after injury, had some cramps in the end. It has settled down, looks much better. I hope he's available but we have to wait for the training session.

“Same as Jayden Bogle, he's improved, so perhaps he's also in contention. We'll have more or less a session today as a test if he's available, and we can go through.

"There are many players with knocks and little hits, so for many of them it's a test today, and then afterwards we will take the decision on who travels with us to Preston, who is also in the starting lineup.”

On the game itself, Farke knows it will be another tough test for his side again an experience PNE side, who have proven difficult to beat lately.

“it's always a difficult place to go, Preston. I've played there so many times in my Championship life and it was always difficult, always competitive games, never easy,” the manager explained.

“They have a pretty experienced manager on this level with Paul [Heckingbottom], who knows this league inside out, with good players, always they play with fighting spirit and competitiveness.

“Yes, before their last game you would have spoken about, okay, they draw many games.

“Meanwhile, after an impressive away win, I have to say, you speak about they have five games unbeaten and will also play with lots of confidence.

“So it's always tight against them, and each game on this level is difficult, and especially in the away game at Preston during a pretty busy period, we know exactly what is coming.”
