Leeds United travel to Stoke City on Boxing Day looking to turn their inconsistent away form around with a victory to stay in the top two.
Daniel Farke’s side ensured they remain in the top two on Christmas Day thanks to a 4-0 win over Oxford United on Saturday afternoon.
Up next is two away games to close out 2024, with Stoke City looming on Boxing Day – a fixture Leeds lost last season.
Leeds team news: Rodon question mark, no other new setbacks
Joe Rodon is the only fresh question mark in the Leeds squad as they prepare for a visit to the Bet365 Stadium, having suffered a cut to his head in the win over Oxford.
Outside of that, Farke is said to be optimistic of his chances that he will have the same players available to him at Stoke as he did against the U’s.
Ethan Ampadu is closer to full fitness after 90 minutes in the tank at centre-back, while Pascal Struijk being rested on the bench should see him more likely to be able to feature – Max Wöber is the only other doubt, having missed Saturday with knee trouble.
Ilia Gruev and Junior Firpo remain the two long-term absentees.
