Leeds United are set to face Cardiff City in the Championship on Saturday in what could potentially be Erol Bulut's final match in charge of the Welsh side. Both teams will be looking to recover from defeats suffered last weekend.
The hosts, rooted to the bottom of the Championship table with just one point from five matches, are desperate for a turnaround and return to action on Saturday in search of their first win of the campaign.
Meanwhile, the visitors, under Daniel Farke’s guidance for a second season after missing out in last year’s playoff final, had an unbeaten run prior to the September international break, starting with draws against Portsmouth and West Bromwich Albion.

In an effort to spark a change in fortunes, Erol Bulut may look to shake up his starting eleven on Saturday, though injuries will still keep Jamilu Collins, Kion Etete, Jesper Daland, Ryotaro Tsunoda, and Isaak Davies on the sidelines.
Will Fish is expected to make his first start in defence, while Calum Chambers and Dimitrios Goutas are likely to retain their spots as the central defensive duo.
In midfield, David Turnbull and Alex Robertson will be vying for starting roles, while Chris Willock and Ollie Tanner will both be pushing for inclusion to offer support to striker Wilfried Kanga. Callum Robinson, however, remains unavailable due to injury.

Leeds team news
The visitors are likely to be without the services key defender Joe Rodon for Saturday’s clash, as he suffered a head injury in the loss to Burnley last week. Winger Daniel James, who has been sidelined for the last two matches, might also remain unavailable.
With Rodon missing, captain Ethan Ampadu could shift back to partner Pascal Struijk in central defence, opening up a potential spot for either Ao Tanaka or Joe Rothwell to step into midfield alongside Ilia Gruev.
In their familiar 4-2-3-1 formation, Willy Gnonto, Brenden Aaronson, and Tottenham loanee Manor Solomon were positioned behind striker Mateo Joseph in the previous match. Joel Piroe and recent signing Largie Ramazani are pushing for a place in the starting lineup this time around.
Leeds United possible starting lineup: Meslier; Bogle, Ampadu, Struijk, Firpo; Gruev, Tanaka; Gnonto, Piroe, Solomon; Joseph
