Leeds United will hope to return to winning ways in the Premier League, as we call their predicted lineup for their upcoming showdown against Nottingham Forest.
After the Whites bounced back from their 0-0 draw against Brentford to beat Accrington Stanley 3-1 in the FA Cup, we expect Jesse Marsch to make as many as 5 changes.
Leeds United predicted lineup vs Nottingham Forest
In between the sticks, Illan Meslier, who was known to have ‘convinced’ Georginio Rutter to join the club, going by the striker’s revelation to the Daily Mail is set to keep his place in the Leeds predicted lineup against Nottingham Forest.
At right-back, Rasmus Kristensen is likely to be replaced by the in-form Luke Ayling, who also drew words of appreciation from Kalvin Phillips on Instagram recently.
With Robin Koch suspended due to picking 5 yellow cards, Pascal Strujik is set to take his place, accompanying Maximilian Wober at centre-half in the Leeds predicted lineup against Nottingham Forest.
As a result, Junior Firpo is almost guaranteed to retain his place in the XI.
Considering Jesse Marsch went with a 4-1-3-2 system in the FA Cup, Marc Roca, who Danny Murphy feels is ‘not a Premier League footballer’ is likely to keep his place, with Tyler Adams coming in for Sam Greenwood, who operated on the right flank.
Since Sam Greenwood has come out of the side, Brenden Aaronson looks virtually guaranteed to start on the right wing in our Leeds predicted lineup against Forest.
Jack Harrison, branded as ‘fantastic’ by Jesse Marsch is set to keep his place in the side, who was set to join Leicester City, as per the Athletic. But after his move failed to come to fruition, the Englishman is likely to play.
Heading into the attacking positions, Luis Sinisterra is also likely to be replaced by Wilfried Gnonto in our Leeds predicted lineup against Nottingham Forest.
Up front, Patrick Bamford is set to retain his place, with Georginio Rutter being benched by Jesse Marsch on Sunday.
Leeds United predicted line-up vs Nottingham Forest: Meslier, Ayling, Wober, Strujik, Firpo, Roca, Adams, Aaronson, Harrison, Gnonto, Bamford.
