Kiko Casilla is yet to keep a clean sheet as Leeds come face-to-face with Dwight Gayle and Jay Rodriguez

In January, Leeds United pulled off a major coup by signing Kiko Casilla from Real Madrid.

The 32-year-old moved to Elland Road with Marcelo Bielsa moving to strengthen his goalkeeper options.

Bailey Peacock-Farrell had drifted in and out of form and an injury to Chelsea loanee Jamal Blackman opened up a vacancy for Casilla.

But as we enter March, Casilla is still yet to keep his first clean sheet as a Leeds player.

The once-capped Spain international has played six times for the Whites since his January move and he will be disappointed by this record.

Leeds have been sloppy and games like Rotherham United, Bolton Wanderers and Queens Park Rangers should have been clean sheets.

The leaky defence is something that Bielsa needs to address quickly if Leeds are to get their title bid back on track.

But things are not about to get any easier for Casilla with Leeds facing one the trickiest challenges of the season tonight.

West Brom travel to Elland Road and they have two of the Championship’s hottest strikers in Jay Rodriguez and Dwight Gayle.

Rodriguez has 17 league goals this season (as well as five assists), while Gayle’s 16 league goals (and two assists) have come in less games.

With 67 goals this season, West Brom are the second top scorers (one behind league leaders Norwich City).

It would be a great time for Casilla to keep his first Leeds clean sheet but he might struggle to manage that tonight.
