Where to watch Leeds vs. Stoke live stream, TV channel, start time for EFL Championship match

18 hours ago 1

Leeds United will look to take one step closer to securing the Championship title when they host Stoke City in their next match on Monday.

Daniel Farke’s side extended their winning streak to three games in the league with a narrow 1-0 win over Oxford United thanks to Manor Solomon's solitary goal. Should Sheffield United lose to Burnley, Leeds will secure promotion to the Premier League after barely missing out last year.

On the other hand, Stoke City have seen a late-season resurgence as they are unbeaten in five Championship games, with their 2-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday last time out their second consecutive league win.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Leeds vs. Stoke lineups, team news

Leeds United will be without the duo of Joe Rothwell and Pascal Struijk for this game with the pair dealing with different injury concerns which see them on the sidelines.

Jayden Bogle was impressive against Oxford United and should once again start at right-back against Stoke City. Similarly, Karl Darlow has been consistent over the last few weeks in front of goal and should retain his spot at goalkeeper.

Leeds United predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Darlow (GK) — Bogle, Rodon, Ampadu, Firpo — Tanaka, Gruev — Gnonto, Aaronson, Solomon — Piroe.

Injured: Rothwell, Struijk
Suspended: None

Stoke City more or less have a clean slate of health coming into this game. However, there are some concerns with regard to personnel in their backline.

Eric Bocat will miss this match after having to leave the pitch during the early stages of their win against Sheffield Wednesday. Furthermore, Enda Stevens is a doubt as well.

Stoke City predicted XI (4-2-3-1 right to left): Johansson (GK) — Tchamadeu, Phillips, Wilmot, Thompson — Pearson, Burger — Manhoef, Baker, Bae — Gallagher.

Injured: Bocat, Stevens (doubt)
Suspended: None
