Leeds are going through something of a rough patch at the moment, and things don’t get much easier for them this weekend as they face off against Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea.
The Whites are coming off the back of four losses in their last five games, and they will head into this clash against Chelsea as underdogs.
The Blues outplayed them earlier this term, but the Whites will be desperate to extract a bit of revenge on their bitter rivals and hand Tuchel his first league loss at Chelsea.
If United are to win this one, Marcelo Bielsa will have to get his team selection spot on, and with that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting Leeds’ starting XI for this one.
Despite a poor run of form, we think that Bielsa will make just one change for this match.
Indeed, we think that Jack Harrison will come in for Helder Costa after his poor run of form that has seen him labelled as ‘infuriating’ by Noel Whelan lately.
This means that Raphinha moves back to his favoured position on the right, and other than that, the team remains about what you’d expect it to be.
Diego Llorente remains alongside Liam Cooper at centre-half after it was suggested that Robin Koch will play for the U23s on Monday as he steps up his recovery.
Tyler Roberts also retains his spot in the midfield, despite the fact Rodrigo came off the bench against West Ham last week.
Patrick Bamford will hope to score against his former club as he leads the line for this clash.
