As Leeds United gear themselves up to face Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday, it is a challenge to call their predicted lineup after their 1-0 defeat to Chelsea.
Despite their latest hiccup, we foresee Javi Gracia making a mere 2 changes to his side.
Leeds United predicted lineup vs Brighton
As per standard procedure, Illan Meslier is expected to keep his place in net in our Leeds predicted lineup against Brighton.
The same can be said about Luke Ayling, who has become a guaranteed starter since the World Cup for the Whites.
In the right-sided centre-back role, Robin Koch, who was only recently linked with a switch to Newcastle United is likely to start once again.
Alongside him is set to be Maximilian Wober, who has been one of the few positive talking points surrounding the club since setting foot at Elland Road in January.
An unchanged backline is expected with Junior Firpo also retaining his place in our Leeds predicted lineup against Brighton.
Kickstarting the double pivot, it goes without saying that Tyler Adams, who recently reserved special praise for Javi Gracia is one of, if not the first name on the team sheet.
However, the first change emerges right alongside him, with Marc Roca, described as ‘incredible’ by Jesse Marsch via Leeds Live coming into the side to add a sense of control to the midfield against Roberto De Zerbi’s high-flying side.
The Spaniard, however does not replace Weston McKennie in our side and instead comes in for Brenden Aaronson, with the former expected to comprise a midfield trio combative enough to tame the visitors.
The Leeds front 3 also sees a change, with Wilfried Gnonto displacing Crysencio Summerville, whose fitness is uncertain, while Georginio Rutter and Jack Harrison are expected to stay in the side.
Leeds United predicted lineup vs Brighton: Meslier, Ayling, Koch, Wober, Firpo, Adams, Roca, McKennie, Harrison, Rutter, Gnonto
