As Leeds United prepare to lock horns against Liverpool at Elland Road, we have tried to call the hosts’ predicted lineup.
Despite being crushed into smithereens by Crystal Palace in their 5-1 defeat, we expect Javi Gracia to just make 2 changes to his side.
Leeds United predicted lineup vs Liverpool
As is standard procedure, Illan Meslier will keep his place in between the sticks as part of our Leeds predicted lineup against Liverpool.
At right-back, Luke Ayling is likely to start once again, as he has become one of the first names on the team sheet since the World Cup.
Robin Koch is also expected to keep his place in the team, as was the case against Palace in what was a disappointing display from the entire backline.
While Leeds boss Javi Gracia was typically coy about Max Wober’s fitness, only admitting that he had trained with the side on some days via Leeds Live, we expect him to start in our predicted lineup against Liverpool.
To cap the back four off, another player who seems dead set to start at left-back is Pascal Strujik, with Junior Firpo losing his place in the XI.
At the base of midfield is set to be Marc Roca, who is likely to partnered by Weston McKennie in the go-to double pivot for the Whites since Tyler Adams’ injury.
Now, at right-wing, Luis Sinisterra is another name that seems almost guaranteed to start against Jurgen Klopp’s side.
Just behind the striker is where Jack Harrison could operate; a position where he has shone this season.
Brenden Aaronson, however could be displaced by Wilfried Gnonto, who was branded as ‘not normal’ in terms of his talent level at such a young age by Junior Firpo.
And up front, it is unlikely that the misfiring Patrick Bamford does not start against Liverpool.
Leeds United predicted lineup vs Liverpool: Meslier, Ayling, Koch, Wober, Strujik, Roca, McKennie, Sinisterra, Harrison, Gnonto, Bamford
