Leeds United are still on the search for their first win of the Championship campaign, as they hope to end that burden on Friday night versus Yorkshire rivals Sheffield Wednesday.

On the final weekend before the transfer deadline slams shut, Leeds United are hoping to get their season up and running in a challenging clash against Danny Rohl's Wednesday.

The Whites have had a slow start to proceedings with two draws in their opening two games, most recently the 0-0 stalemate at the Hawthorns versus West Brom.

Meanwhile, Wednesday have had mixed reviews.

A 4-0 win over Wayne Rooney's Plymouth saw Rohl's men brought back down to earth, with a 4-0 drubbing at the Stadium of Light against Sunderland last Sunday.

It's unlikely Daniel Farke will complete any more signings before Friday, but journalist Fabrizio Romano suggests that Almeria winger and former Manchester United player Largie Ramazani is close to signing, potentially proving to be Crysencio Summerville's replacement.

"It's trouble - Leeds claim ahead of Wednesday clash on potential threats they face

FLW's Leeds United fan pundit Kris Smith has suggested threats his side need to watch out for at Hillsborough on Friday night.

He said: "My immediate thought is not the players, it's more the manager that stands out to me, in terms of how tactically astute he is compared to Farke, who has had his question marks raised over whether he can compete against those sorts of managers like Danny Rohl.

"Rohl has got a real tune out of some of his squad, and the two that I immediately look at are the two wingers, Djeidi Gassama and Anthony Musaba. I think that's where Wednesday are really going to cause us some problems."

"It's quite obvious so far, adding Jayden Bogle to our set-up and having Junior Firpo on the other side, it does make us good going forward but leaves us highly exposed at the back.

"When you come up against Wednesday, who have two wingers who know how to exploit the space in behind, it's trouble.

"I think Wednesday are a bit of a side, as Sunderland proved, they don't like it when they're being pressed high.

"Having said that, they also have two capable midfielders in Svante Ingelsson and Barry Bannan, who can stretch Leeds quite quickly if we do get caught by a bad press, and those two wide players will be where they get at us."

Leeds will have to keep Gassama and Musaba quiet

Leeds have been known for their free-flowing football, pressing high in attack but leaving open spaces at the back.

Wednesday, have always been impressive at home with the Hillsborough atmosphere and could be a game made for the Wednesday wingers.

Against Plymouth, both full-backs got run ragged, and the pairing could quite easily do the same to Leeds' full backs.

An advantage Leeds may have is the wingers' ability to track back. Musaba, on the left, has been seen to track back reliably, giving Bogle a potentially tricky game. On the other hand, though, Firpo could use Gassama's lack of defensive efforts to his advantage.

The Wednesday pairing did struggle in last season's 2-0 defeat at Hillsborough to the Whites, but with Bogle replacing Tottenham's Archie Gray, we could see an interesting battle.

Firpo will have to be wary defensively himself, however, already being targeted by Portsmouth's Callum Lang this season.

Both managers will already be thinking about how they can get the better of their compatriot, and this could be a situation they'll keep in mind.
