On a day Daniel Farke felt able to dole out three Leeds United debuts, 24-year-old Isaac Schmidt was left watching on from Saturday’s sidelines. The Swiss full-back has made three appearances this term,

Since taking charge at Elland Road last summer, Daniel Farke has not witnessed his side lose in the league after scoring the first goal. In fact, not since the 2018/19 play-off semi-final defeat at home to Derby County have Leeds lost a Championship game after opening the scoring.

He expects a "spicy atmosphere" at the Den so his players "need to be cool in the head with fire in the heart". He said they "cannot relax" against Millwall and they will have to "be ready" to defend set-pieces, which the Lions have capitalised on in recent games.

Leeds United boss Daniel Farke insists that summer signing Isaac Schmidt needs to step up to find more consistency in his performance level to have more chances to play. The 24-year-old defender was signed from Swiss club St. Gallen in the summer for a fee in the region of £2.5m.

Neil Harris' Lions are among the in-form Championship sides, losing just once in their last eight games, and winning their last three, including Saturday's 1-0 home win over promotion rivals Burnley. Millwall have only conceded one goal in their last five games and have moved up to seventh in the table, as they look to launch a play-off bid.

Leeds United head to in-form Millwall on Wednesday at a venue where they have lost nine of their last 12 games.
