A third game in a week will have Football League managers scratching their heads.
Daniel Farke's main conundrum will come if Sam Byram does not feel ready for a third 90-minute shift when Bristol City visit Leeds United in the Championship on Saturday. With Jamie Shackleton out with a shoulder injury and Junior Firpo a knee problem, Pascal Struijk could play left-back, but Farke hinted in his press conference he would rather find a more creative solution than shift a foundation stone of his team.
If he has the ball close to the box you can go to the halfway line because that's where the next touch is. 'But because we are Leeds United we want the ball every moment so we need players to lead the intensity of the pressing; because we are often dominant against teams parking the bus we need a striker who stretches the opponent with running in behind, with smart movements. 'I wouldn't label his pressing qualities as the best in this league.
