Leeds United face Everton on Saturday, and this could be one of the most important games of the Premier League season.
Leeds and Everton are two absolutely massive clubs, but they’re both in real danger of being sucked into a relegation battle, and the loser of this game could end up in serious trouble.
Factor in the added spice of the rivalry between Marcelo Bielsa and Frank Lampard over the years and you have a recipe for one of the most entertaining and eventful games we’re likely to see this year.
Bielsa will be desperate to get one over his old adversary here, and in order to get a win he needs to get his team selection spot on.
With that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting Leeds’ starting XI for this match.
It may not be the most interesting or exciting XI to predict, but we think Bielsa will field an unchanged side for this match.
Unfortunately for Leeds, their ongoing injury issues means that there isn’t much room for rotation here, but this team should be capable of performing against the Toffees.
United put in a solid performance against Aston Villa, and while they were undone by a few pieces of genius from Philippe Coutinho and Jacob Ramsey, they can be happy with how they played.
If they put in a repeat performance against a struggling Everton side, Leeds should be able to come away from this game with something.
