Team news

Barring Luke Ayling and Tyler Roberts, Marcelo Bielsa is likely to have the full squad available for selection.  Nathan Dyer and Aldo Kalulu both missed Swansea's win at Birmingham last weekend and are again doubtful for Saturday's clash.

The key battle

Ben White v Borja Baston

Leeds defender Ben White has made a very promising start in a Leeds United shirt after moving on loan from Brighton.  He comes up against Borja Baston, the Championship's top scorer and will be looking to prevent him from adding to this tally.
