Both Patrick Bamford and Eddie Nketiah will start for Leeds United against Sheffield Wednesday, predicts Andy Couzens.

Andy Couzens has suggested on Twitter that Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa will field Patrick Bamford and Eddie Nketiah up front together against Sheffield Wednesday.

Leeds will take on Wednesday away from home at the Hillsborough Stadium in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.

Bamford is the first-choice striker for the Whites at the moment, but the former Nottingham Forest and Chelsea player has not been scoring goals lately.

The 26-year-old has scored four goals and provided one assist in 13 Championship appearances for the Whites so far this season, according to WhoScored.

As for Nketiah, the 20-year-old striker has scored three goals in nine substitute appearances in the Championship for Bielsa’s side so far this season, according to WhoScored.

Former Leeds midfielder Couzens has predicted that Bielsa will deploy both Bamford and Nketiah up front this afternoon – quite an exciting prospect indeed.

Leeds are second in the Championship table at the moment with 24 points from 13 matches, two points behind leaders West Bromwich Albion.
