Kick-off

Sunday, November 24, 3:00 PM UK (8:30 PM IST)

Location: Swansea City Stadium

Form

Swansea City (in the Championship): D-L-W-W-L

Leeds United (in the Championship): W-D-W-L-W

Players to watch

Lawrence Vigouroux (Swansea)

Lawrence Vigouroux is Swansea’s Chilean wall between the sticks. Boy, he is pulling off save after save to keep his side in the fight. The 30-year-old has an 80% save rate, putting him among the Championship’s best, and his five clean sheets in 15 games have been crucial to Swansea’s defensive solidity.

Manager Luke Williams didn’t hold back, saying Vigouroux is “as good as anyone in the Championship.” With stats like these, you’ve got to wonder—when will he get the Premier League calling?

Wilfried Gnonto (Leeds)

Wilfried Gnonto might be just 21, but he’s already making waves in Leeds and on the international stage with Italy. With 13 caps and a goal for the Azzurri, he’s proving his quality beyond his years. So, it’s a no-brainer why he has been a trusted weapon for his team in the Championship so far, chipping in with two goals and five assists. Whether it’s setting up chances or finishing them off, Gnonto has been one to watch.
