Leeds United aren’t safe in the Premier League yet, and their next few games look very difficult indeed.
The Yorkshire club face three of the best teams in the Premier League in the coming weeks, and their tough run starts on Saturday against Manchester City at Elland Road.
Leeds come into this one as massive underdogs, but as this fixture showed last season, anything can happen in football.
Indeed, Leeds managed to beat City 2-1 in this match last year despite having a man sent off, and if the Whites can repeat the trick here, you have to imagine they’ll be all but safe in the Premier League.
Of course, that’s easier said than done, but Jesse Marsch’s side are a team capable of beating the odds.
With that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting Leeds’ starting XI for this one.
We think that Jesse Marsch will make just one change for this game.
Robin Koch comes in for Mateusz Klich after the Poland international was substituted early against Crystal Palace earlier this week.
Other than that, the team is about what you would expect it to be.
Dan James continues to start up front, and he’s flanked by Leeds’ two dangermen, Jack Harrison and Raphinha.
Kalvin Phillips starts for just the second time in 2022 alongside Koch, while the back five remains exactly the same to the one that started against Crystal Palace on Monday.
