Speaking ahead of the game, Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa was quizzed on why youngster Elia Caprile was on the bench against West Ham last weekend, over Kiko Casilla.
He claimed: “I received a notice from the institution that said that Caprile was given a place on the bench due to his performances, this is not a conclusion that I have said.
“When I make a decision on the presence or an absence of a player I don't explain the motives. What I do say is the truth.
“If it's because of injury then I say it is because of injury, in the case of Casilla and Caprile, of course I value Caprile, I also know the difference between one and the other and what I said to explain Casilla's absence was that he was not injured and that I decided that he would not participate and Caprile would. I think what I said is true and sufficient.”
Meanwhile, down in the Championship, Huddersfield Town are gearing up for a trip to QPR, as they look to extend their unbeaten run to three matches and move back up the table.
