If ever a game could be described as a must-win this is it.
Leeds United face Norwich City on Sunday afternoon, and you feel that a loss here would be another nail in the Whites’ Premier League coffin.
Leeds have a real chance of being relegated this season, and a game against Norwich represents a massive opportunity to get some points on the board.
Sadly for the Yorkshire club, they come into this game in absolutely rotten form. They’ve lost each of their last five games and something needs to change soon.
With that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting Leeds’ starting XI for this one.
We think that Leeds will make three changes from the team that lost 3-0 to Villa this week.
Pascal Struijk, Junior Firpo and Rodrigo drop out, while Mateusz Klich, Diego Llorente and Joe Gelhardt come in.
Stuart Dallas shifts over to left-back after Jesse Marsch confirmed his plans to shift the 30-year-old over to that side in his press conference, while Robin Koch returns to the defence as well.
The midfield is about what you’d expect it to be, but the big headline is up top.
Rodrigo was hooked at half-time against Aston Villa, so it’s hard to see him being rewarded with a start here, while Phil Hay recently stated that he doesn’t expect Patrick Bamford to be fit to start here. Therefore, youngster Joe Gelhardt is trusted to lead the line alongside Dan James for this crucial match.
