Daniel Farke’s Leeds United press conference is taking place at The Hawthorns after tonight’s clash with West Bromwich Albion. Follow everything the manager has to say about Friday night’s match below as we bring you most of the questions and answers in full from the debrief.

Before the match, Farke made five changes to the Whites squad which was beaten at Preston North End three days ago in the Championship. Karl Darlow, as expected, replaced Illan Meslier in goal, while Liam Cooper was a surprise inclusion after Pascal Struijk suffered an adductor injury this week.

Elsewhere, Sam Byram replaced Archie Gray at full-back, Ilia Gruev came in for Glen Kamara and Wilfried Gnonto started ahead of Daniel James. Charlie Cresswell was on the bench for the first time since November 11.

The first half ended with the hosts leading 1-0 after Grady Diangana’s goal. Leeds were not at the races in the first period and needed changes from their manager at the break.

The second half saw no further goals as the Whites struggled to make the impact they needed. Follow everything the manager has to say below.
