Leeds United are preparing for the intense drama of the play-offs – and some Leeds United fans on Twitter have been discussing whether they should recall goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell.

The 22-year-old was the first-choice option in net during the first half of the campaign, but was eventually overtaken by January signing Kiko Casilla.

Peacock-Farrell has 10 clean sheets in 29 games across all competition this campaign and has come through the academy at Elland Road.

The Northern Ireland international is a talented youngster that is a great shot-stopper and can play out from the back confidently.

He is vulnerable when it comes to commanding his penalty area, but has of time to improve and some feel he should be in the number one slot now.

Casilla arrived at the Yorkshire giants after leaving Real Madrid and has had a mixed time so far in English football.

The Spaniard made a shocking error on the final day of the season in defeat to Ipswich Town, something that has to be avoided in the play-offs.
