Leeds United goalkeeper Karl Darlow has been in goal for the last couple of matches. After Lucas Perri picked up an injury, Darlow stepped in and has had some decent games.
Leeds had two great results after losing to Fulham last month. Darlow had a superb performance in that game and earned a lot of plaudits. The Whites managed to beat Wolves and drew to Bournemouth. But the result against the Cherries could easily have been a win before Leeds conceded a late goal.
Daniel Farke has a big decision to make when Perri returns to action during the international break.

Former Premier League keeper Ben Foster, and Ex-coach Dave Watson have been discussing Karl Darlow after the Spurs game. Watson believes that the Leeds keeper is not good enough at the top flight level.
“That’s the difference between why Leeds will have a real chance of staying up, but are never going to push on.” he said speaking on the Fozcast.
“Karl Darlow, I’ve known him a long, long time, and he’s a great goalkeeper. He’s done well, but he should be doing a little bit better on those two goals.
“Then Vicario, at the level higher, produces the save. He makes one down to his left, and it’s a fantastic save. And it gets them the three points. Really strong hand, down to the left, boom, into a safe area.”
Ben Foster assesses Karl Darlow’s game against Spurs
On Saturday, Darlow was the topic of discussion. Many think the keeper was responsible for both goals Leeds conceded against Spurs. Ben Foster has had his say on the Welshman’s performance in the game.
“His hands are too low anyway,” Foster said.
“From that close, you can use your feet to try and make the saves. Matz Sels actually made a really good foot save; somebody else did, I think it was the Brighton goalkeeper.
“But you’ve got to have your hands in a higher position there because from that angle, they can still get in the top corner, and I know it took a deflection, but you’ve still got to be up there a little bit.”
