Leeds United may receive a timely boost as promotion rivals tread the suspension tightrope.
A number of players from the Whites’ early promotion rivals fear suspension if they receive any more yellow cards.
Leeds United have had a strong start to the season and are among the early promotion candidates. Leicester City and Ipswich Town are the leaders, but the Whites have beaten both since the start of the season and are closing in on them.
After a difficult start to the season, Daniel Farke’s side are beginning to find their stride, with a mass exodus in the summer and a number of new faces coming through the door. The Whites have risen to third place and are well placed to capitalize on any mistakes made by the top two.
They may also benefit from a timely boost, as several of their promotion opponents have crucial players on four yellow cards. One additional violation up to and including game week 19 would result in a one-match suspension for those players.
Leeds Live has checked WhoScored to determine who of Leeds United’s promotion rivals are likely to be suspended in the coming weeks.
