Burnley’s Leeds United guessing game is revealed, but Daniel Farke denies the “surprise” notion.

Daniel Farke, the manager of Leeds United, is keeping Burnley guessing with his team selection,

but he maintains that surprises are not part of his strategy to beat the Clarets.

Junior Firpo’s spectacular attacking cameo against Norwich City in the second half offered Farke

something to consider, if not a choice for the starting lineup on Monday.

With his ability to take on players down the line and put crosses in with his left foot,

the left-back gave Leeds’ left flank a serious threat and contributed to the development of attacks.

When Leeds attack along the left touchline, Sam Byram, who is right-footed and has been a

reliable substitute for Firpo amid the latter’s injury and suspension problems,

frequently has to cut back inside or turn back on the ball.

When Leeds hosted Harrogate, Firpo made his maiden appearance off the bench in the

55th minute after recovering from his most recent injury.

After playing 35 minutes against Norwich in the middle of the week,

he was not used as a substitute in the 3-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday.
