Leeds United go in search of a Second City double when they return to Birmingham to face Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday. Daniel Farke’s side overcame Villa’s rivals on penalties in a close FA Cup fourth-round tie on Sunday with a virtual second-string side.
But the big guns will be back for this one and Farke should revert to the tried-and-tested formation that changed the course of the Whites’ campaign shortly after they lost 2-1 at home to Villa in November.
That was the third of four successive defeats for the newly promoted club and brought a great deal of pressure on the German coach. Farke deployed a three-at-the-back system with wing-backs and two forwards at home to Chelsea two games later and his side lost only two of their next 15 matches.
