The key battle

Bradley Dack v Liam Cooper

After firing 19 goals and helping Rovers win promotion last season, Dack has made the step up to Championship level seem easy and has already netted eight goals for Rovers in all competitions this season.  Leeds captain and centre back Liam Cooper will be looking to prevent him from adding to that tally.
