The visit of Burton to a pretty near sell out Elland Road should be the ideal opportunity to keep the run going
Venue...Elland Road...Date..9th Sept...Kick Off.. 1500hrs
Team News
Leeds United could give debuts to deadline day signings Pawel Cibicki and Pierre-Michel Lasogga, while Jay-Roy Grot could make his first start.

Match facts
This is just the third league meeting between the teams - both sides won a game each last season, with Leeds winning 2-0 at Elland Road in October.
Nigel Clough has won seven of his eight managerial encounters with Leeds, with his only blemish in that time Burton's 2-0 loss last October.
Leeds could become only the sixth team in Football League history to draw their opening three home league games of a season 0-0 and the first since Burnley in 1997/98, who were then managed by Chris Waddle.
Burton have kept just five clean sheets in their last 35 league games, though four of those shutouts have been in away fixtures.
Samuel Saiz has been directly involved in six goals in all competitions this season; a joint-high among Championship players, along with Bristol City's Bobby Reid.
The Brewers have had fewer shots on target than any other side in the Championship this season (12), scoring just four goals from their opening five league games.
__________________________________________________
So that's it then, apart from a couple of comments that young Mr Clough made that I think might prove a talking point .............
"They had a greet season under Garry Monk just missing out on the play-offs. They have carried some of that confidence into the season. They have lost Chris Wood but have brought one or two very good foreigners in."
"It is always a great atmosphere. We ended up losing 2-0 late on last season but should have won the game. I hope we can play as well again this season."
Oh you think you should have won ??? Well you didn't !!!
_____________________________________________________
My prediction a tasty 3-0 Dallas, Saiz and the Grot....... with the atmosphere and " one or two foreign players" proving too much for Burton
Over to You......................Predictions, Scorers etc .............................
Come Onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeds!!!

Highlight of the Match:
A rousing chorus of "Leeds are falling apart again" from the home fans.

A bit silly singing that really as that could quiet easily happen again. Look at Spurs, they do it frequently. Love the Christiansen chant

Highland, it was a generous and respectful admission that we were different class today.

Some fantastic performances today. Cooper has grown into being a fantastic CB. His reading of the game and knowing when to go forward and when to stay back is incredible.
O'Kane was superb. Phillips looked twice the player he was last season. Hernandez, Saiz, and Roofe were superb.
Lasogga looks a real find. Linked up with the other attacker seamlessly with some nice touches, and two very good finishes.

It was Jamie, Clough was very complimentary and fair play to him for that
