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.

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.
