Leeds United vs Coventry City Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

Many expect both Leeds United and Coventry City to be flying this season. Many tipped Leeds to win the league title with Coventry battling for playoff spots. However the start of the season hasn’t gone that way.

This match will be a big chance to push on for both teams as they look to get back on track.

Leeds United Preview: Daniel Farke’s Difficult Start

Leeds United Predicted Lineup - Illan Meslier; Junior Firpo, Pascal Struijk, Joe Rodon, Jayden Bogle; Ethan Ampadu, Ilia Gruev; Wilfried Gnonto, Brenden Aaronson, Largie Ramazani, Mateo Joseph

Leeds United currently sit 6th in the league on eleven points. Although this isn’t bad it is certainly not where they would have hoped to have been at this point. Especially with many tipping them to win the league title this year.

However they have shown a continued ability to score and keep the ball out. Four clean sheets in five games is an impressive record where they have also scored nine goals - this the joint 4th in the league.

One player that has certainly impressed for Leeds is youngster Mateo Joseph who has taken to his leading attacking role with ease. He may only have one goal and two assists this season but he has played a key part in Leeds’ season. If anyone is to help them going forward it is him.

Coventry City Preview: Below Par Start

Coventry City Predicted Lineup - Oliver Dovin; Jake Bidwell, Luis Binks, Bobby Thomas, Milan Van Ewijk; Haji Wright, Jack Rudoni, Ephron Mason-Clark, Victor Torp, Josh Eccles; Ellis Simms

Coventry’s start has been incredibly lacklustre. Right now they sit in 19th place on just five points. This is just one point from the relegation zone.

They have only scored six goals so far this campaign conceding eight. This is nowhere near the standards they will have wanted to be at even at this early stage of the season. Coming up against Leeds now is probably the last thing they would have wanted.

Haji Wright will be someone Coventry fans look to to help turn things around. This season he has managed two goals but last year he ended the campaign with 16 goals - this the 6th most in the league.

Head To Head Stats: Leeds United vs Coventry City

Leeds United have played Coventry City 85 times competitively in their history.

Of course it is The Whites that hold the advantage with 43 of those games ending with them winning. Coventry have won this fixture just 19 times. There have also been 23 draws.

However, despite this, Coventry City are actually unbeaten in the last four matches against Leeds. In fact the last time Leeds beat Coventry was way back in 2011. Can Coventry continue that run in this game?
