Leeds United have no fresh injury concerns going into tomorrow's clash at Coventry City. Speaking at his press briefing today, manager Daniel Farke confirmed Patrick Bamford remains their only absentee.

The forward has yet to recover from a hamstring problem. The knock has kept Bamford out since New Year's Day. "Patrick is injury but everyone else is available," Farke told the media.

The Championship leaders ended the winter transfer window without making a single signing. Farke said: "Overall, I predicted a quiet window, in the end it turned out a very quiet window. We can now move on and talk about football.

"The main headline about our window is I trust my group. This means we are sitting after two-thirds of the Championship, top position in the table. We are there with 63 points after 30 games. This group has managed to be in this position. I don’t see one reason this group can’t finish in a top position. It’s a bit special when you have to do business in January. I know this world is crazy about deadline day. If you want suspense 20 years ago, you are sat in front of a James Bond movie.

"Now there is rumours, breaking news, reporter at training ground here and there, it’s not my way to do business. It feels like if you’re on the stock exchange, you wait until the last second to buy or sell. I don’t think business at a healthy club should be done like this."

United go to Coventry looking to extend their unbeaten league run to 13 matches. You have to go back to November 30 for the last time the Whites tasted defeat, with Blackburn Rovers edging a tight contest at Ewood Park.

As for Coventry, their fortunes have picked up since the appointment of Frank Lampard as head coach. The former Chelsea and Derby County boss has turned things around, overseeing four straight wins. Their improved run of form has lifted them up to 11th in the standings, three points off the play-offs.
