As Leeds United travel to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea on Saturday, we have tried our best to call their predicted lineup.
Despite coming off the back of a 2-0 defeat to Fulham in the FA Cup, we expect Javi Gracia to make just 2 changes to his side.
Leeds United predicted lineup vs Chelsea
Illan Meslier, whose ‘masterclass’ against Southampton was recently praised by Jack Harrison will start in goal, as is standard procedure week in, week out.
At right-back, Luke Ayling is set to keep his place in our Leeds predicted lineup against Chelsea.
BBC reporter Adam Pope relayed Javi Gracia’s coy quotes about not disclosing any injury news, which is why one questions whether either Pascal Strujik, Maximilian Wober or Liam Cooper will be deemed fit for the clash.
But considering the Spaniard did say that all of them were in ‘good hands’, Max Wober could make it in time to replace Rasmus Kristensen and start against Chelsea in our Leeds predicted lineup.
Alongside the German is likely to be Robin Koch, who Jesse Marsch once labelled as ‘incredible.’
At left-back, Junior Firpo, who made headlines for telling Javi Gracia that the Whites do not deserve to be relegated via the Daily Mail has been in promising touch and looks likely to play from the first whistle.
The American duo of Tyler Adams and Weston McKennie are expected to start in the middle of the park in our Leeds against Chelsea.
Their fellow ‘sensational’ countryman in Brenden Aaronson could also join them in midfield to offers bundles of energy, replacing Marc Roca in the process in what could be a workmanlike trio to keep the Blues quiet going forward.
As for the front 3 of Crysencio Summerville, Georginio Rutter and Wilfried Gnonto, it is not expected to change for Saturday’s clash.
Leeds United predicted lineup vs Chelsea: Meslier, Ayling, Koch, Wober, Firpo, Adams, McKennie, Aaronson, Summerville, Rutter, Gnonto
