Leeds completed a first league double of the campaign by defeating Derby County last week and will be hoping to do the same against Stoke, following the 3-1 opening day victory against the Potters. Nathan Jones is the new man in charge at Stoke following the departure of Gary Rowett, but his first two games have ended in defeats.
