As Leeds United prepare to face Cardiff City in the FA Cup 3rd Round replay, we have tried our best to call their predicted lineup for Wednesday’s clash.
Jesse Marsch’s men are coming off the back of a 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa, which would prompt them to return to winning ways.
However, we expect the former RB Leipzig boss to make as many as 7 changes for the contest.
Leeds United predicted lineup vs Cardiff City
The first change comes in between the sticks, with Illan Meslier being replaced by Joel Robles.
At right-back, Luke Ayling could be rested, with Rasmus Kristensen come into the side in our Leeds predicted lineup against Cardiff City.
Diego Llorente may return to the side, replacing Robin Koch.
Patrick Strujik could start in his natural centre-back position instead of at left-back, as he did against Villa.
At left-back, Patrick Strujik could be displaced by Junior Firpo, who assisted Sonny Perkins’ crucial equaliser in the last meeting between both teams.
In the No.6 role, Maximilian Wober, recently signed for £11 million (Sky Sports) could be in line for a first start for Leeds in our predicted lineup against Cardiff, displacing Tyler Adams.
Alongside Wober, Marc Roca looks likely to retain his place in Jesse Marsch’s side.
At right wing, Brenden Aaronson, who has been favoured in the position a number of times could earn a successive start.
Sam Greenwood could play further forward, right behind the striker in our Leeds predicted lineup against Cardiff, with Jack Harrison being put on the bench.
On the left-wing, Wilfried Gnonto, who was recently dubbed as a ‘Manchester City winger’ by Gary Neville is virtually guaranteed to start yet again.
Joe Gelhardt could occupy the false nine role, with the in-form Rodrigo getting a breather.
Leeds United predicted lineup vs Cardiff City: Robles, Kristensen, Llorente, Strujik, Firpo, Wober, Roca, Aaronson, Greenwood, Gnonto, Gelhardt.
