Players to watch out for:

Wilfried Gnonto (Leeds United)

The 20-year-old is one of the best-performing Leeds players so far this season. He has shown maturity way beyond his years and has contributed to nine goals directly. With four goals and five assists, the Italian is one of the most productive players for the Whites. He will be critical for Leeds against Sheffield Wednesday.

Josh Windass (Sheffield Wednesday)

The Englishman is Sheffield Wednesday’s top goalscorer in the 2024/25 EFL Championship season with 10 goals in 24 appearances. He has scored or assisted a goal in all of his last seven matches. Fans will be hoping that he can continue his great goal-scoring run against Leeds as well.
