West Brom vs Leeds United: TV channel, live stream, team news and everything you need to know

Leeds United are set for their next challenge of the season when they make the trip to take on West Bromwich Albion this weekend.

The Whites are fresh from a tough first week back in action, with Daniel Farke still searching for that first win of the campaign.

Leeds could only muster a draw against newly promoted Portsmouth on the opening day of the Championship – with the match ending 3-3.

The Elland Road crowd welcomed their side again in midweek, though Leeds fell to a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Middlesbrough in the EFL Cup.

A bounceback is required but it doesn’t get much easier for The Whites as their first away game of the season comes away at West Brom.

So with that said, here’s a look at everything you need to know about West Brom vs Leeds.

West Brom vs Leeds kick-off time

Leeds are on their travels to the Hawthorns this Saturday, taking on a West Brom side that won their opening Championship match against QPR – thanks to a Josh Maja hat-trick – before losing to Fleetwood Town in the EFL Cup in midweek.

The Yorkshire outfit were unable to beat their Midlands opposition last season – with the Baggies winning 1-0 in one encounter while the reverse fixture was a draw.

• Date: August 17, 2024
• Kick-off time: 12:30 (BST)
• Stadium: The Hawthorns, West Bromwich

Leeds team and injury news

Leeds have managed to scrape through the first two matches without any major injury concerns, while minutes have been shared around.

The Whites are expected to be missing Georginio Rutter though, as he looks to complete a transfer to Brighton.

It means a change is expected from Farke in the forward areas as the Leeds boss looks to deal with the loss of another key star.

West Brom team and injury news

West Brom face a few injury doubts heading into the tie, with Carlos Corberan working around some key losses.

Daryl Dike is guaranteed to miss the match after an Achilles injury he suffered earlier in the year, while club captain Jed Wallace is recovering from a calf problem.

Grady Diangana is returning from a calf issue of his own, while new signing Paddy McNair could make a return from a knee concern.

Leeds United supporters are no strangers when it comes to ownership problems.

Ken Bates, GFH Capital, Massimo Cellino and to a lesser extent Andrea Radrizzani have all made their fair share of mistakes in the last 20 years.
