'It's just not happening for him' Leeds United fans react to loan star's omission for Millwall clash

Bailey Peacock-Farrell will return to the Leeds United starting line-up for this afternoon's clash against Millwall, but the main talking point among fans is the absence of Izzy Brown.

The Throp Arch product will replaced the suspended Kiko Casilla in goal as Marcelo Bielsa makes one change from the side that lost 1-0 to Sheffield United before the international break.

Peacock-Farrell has not featured in the first-team since the 2-1 defeat to Stoke in January, with Casilla quickly being installed as the club's number one following his move from Real Madrid.

Pontus Jansson has won his fitness battle after picking up a knee injury in the Blades defeat, meaning he keeps his place in the back-four along with Luke Ayling, Liam Cooper and Gjanni Aliosko, while Kalvin Phillips, Mateusz Klich and Tyler Roberts will play in the middle. Pablo Hernandez and Jack Harrison again provide the width and Patrick Bamford continues up front.

Adam Forshaw is also back to full fitness and is named on the bench alongside Kamil Miazek, Jamie Shackelton, Stuart Dallas, Barry Douglas, Gaetano Berardi and Jack Clarke, meaning Brown again misses out.

The Chelsea loanee was not named on the bench last time out against the Blades owing to illness, but is again missing. He played the full 90 minutes for the under-23s on Monday evening as they won the league at Colchester, but did not feature in yesterday afternoon's Premier League Cup quarter-final win at Burnley.

Leeds begin the weekend a point behind second placed Sheffield United and five adrift of leaders Norwich. Chris Wilder's side host Bristol City at 3pm today, while the Canaries visit Middlesbrough in the day's late kick-off.

Leeds United : Peacock-Farrell, Alioski, Cooper, Jansson, Ayling, Phillips, Klich, Roberts, Harrison, Hernandez, Bamford

Subs : Miazek, Douglas, Forshaw, Dallas, Berardi, Shackleton, Clarke
