Midfield

Ao Tanaka, Ethan Ampadu and Anton Stach will operate as the holding midfielders as they look to win the 50-50 battles at the centre of the park and orchestrate some decent chances in the final third.

James Justin will look to prove his worth on the left flank, while Wilfried Gnonto looks to put his pace to good use on the right wing. Both of them will have to make some overlapping runs out in the wide areas so that they can supply some decent crosses into the opponent’s penalty area.

Sean Longstaff and Daniel James will have to be content with a place on the bench as they wait for their chance to influence the game in the second half if required.

Attack

Lukas Nmecha and Dominic Calvert-Lewin will spearhead Leeds‘ attack up top. Both of them need to figure out a way to be a constant menace on the offensive end of the field if the Whites want to secure all three points this weekend.

Joel Piroe will have to settle for a place on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the latter stages if the Whites are in need of a goal by then.
