Many Leeds United fans have been baying for Daniel Farke to ring in the changes for Friday’s clash against West Ham United following the 2-0 defeat to Burnley.

Leeds looked abject in attack and paid the price for lapses in concentration at the weekend, meaning they now have just one point from three games. Farke says Friday’s game is no different to any other Premier League fixture but an adverse result will crank up the pressure on the German.

The manager gave away no hints about team selection in his pre-match press conference, although did give injury updates of Noah Okafor and Wilfried Gnonto. Both face late fitness calls, though Okafor (groin) has been branded more likely to feature than Gnonto (hernia operation).

Daniel James played half an hour against Burnley having made a quick recovery from an ankle injury. Farke has said he might take a risk with one or two players with question marks over them but no more.

On the balance of probabilities, it might be James that Farke takes...
