It’s hard to describe any game at this point of the season as a must-win, but Leeds United are very close to entering that territory.
The Whites are in a spot of bother right now, they’re in the relegation zone, they have a bit of an injury crisis and they’re yet to win a game in the Premier League.
Luckily, Leeds have a very winnable game this weekend against Watford, but even though this is a game the Whites have a great chance in, it won’t be a straightforward task.
With that in mind, we’re going to have a go at predicting the starting XI Marcelo Bielsa will pick for this one.
We think that Bielsa will make just one change here as he continues to battle against the injury issues that are plaguing his squad.
Illan Meslier starts between the sticks, while the only change to last week’s team is in the backline as Diego Llorente returns to replace Charlie Cresswell.
Kalvin Phillips starts in the holding midfield role, while ahead of him Mateusz Klich and Stuart Dallas play in the midfield.
Raphinha and Dan James play in the wide areas, while Rodrigo starts as a number nine with Patrick Bamford still out of action.
