Daniel Farke has made two changes to his Leeds United team for this afternoon's Championship tie with Oxford United at Elland Road.

The Whites could go into Christmas day as league leaders if they win today and Sheffield United lose at Cardiff City. Leeds are three unbeaten in December after winning two and drawing one since the defeat at Blackburn Rovers.

An injury-time equaliser at Preston North End rescued a point for Farke's men last time out meaning it is only one defeat in their previous seven games.

Karl Darlow, Patrick Bamford, Largie Ramazani, Mateo Joseph, Josuha Guilavogui, Isaac Schmidt and Sam Chambers make up the bench for Leeds.
