Mid Wales

Daniel Farke says his Leeds United side have to be "on it" after suggesting it will be difficult to score against Swansea City on Sunday.

Luke Williams' men have let in just 10 goals in 15 league games so far this season - with only four Championship teams conceding fewer.

And Farke also expects Swans striker Liam Cullen to be in buoyant mood against Leeds following his two-goal salvo for Wales against Iceland in midweek.

"It’s not easy to score goals against them (Swansea)," said Farke.

"I have to say they’re well-structured, I like a lot what they do in build-up and midfield play.

"Cullen will play with confidence after scoring a brace for Wales.

"We are respectful, we have to be on it."

Leeds have no fresh injury concerns ahead of their trip to south Wales.

The visitors will be without Isaac Schmidt due to a hernia problem, although Largie Ramazani and Max Wober are expected to be available.

Newport County boss Nelson Jardim is facing a midfield injury crisis – but is determined to stick to the style he is looking to embed at the League Two outfit.

Newport will be without co-captain and joint top scorer Aaron Wildig, who is ruled out for the rest of the season with a serious knee injury.

But the Exiles will also again be without flying wide man Bobby Kamwa (hamstring) for Saturday’s tough encounter at Notts County, who are among the League Two play-off places in sixth.

Newport’s injuries do not stop there. Newcastle loanee Jamie Miley is still ruled out after suffering back spasms and fellow midfielder Noah Mawene, on loan from Preston, is a couple more weeks from returning after a hamstring injury.

Also on the Newport casualty list is left wing back Anthony Glennon who has a back complaint which Jardim says has been “tough to get rid of.”

Newport have won just one of their last seven league games. Their one victory in that run – a 2-0 triumph at Gillingham – was one of only two league wins on the road this season

Though Jardim fully respects Notts County, he was encouraged by the overall performance in last Saturday’s goalless home draw with Grimsby Town.

“I admire what we did last game at home, that’s what I was looking for. It’s important to know about the others but even more important to know about yourself," Jardim said.

“Yes Notts County are going to pose a lot of problems to us but we are expecting to pose a lot of problems to them.”

Jardim admitted he would have to make changes to account for the injuries and predicted a “new set up in terms of line-up.”

“We go there to compete and develop our idea of how the football should be played. We are not going to change on that way. We will have to utilise other players," Jardim added.

“When you change one or two, everything changes, but the main idea we still have clear in our heads as to the way moving forward.”
