Leeds United have picked up seven points from their last three games, but the threat of relegation still looms large at Elland Road.
Indeed, Burnley beating Everton in mid-week has put a cat amongst the pigeons, and while Leeds aren’t the favourites to go down, they’re not out of the woods just yet.
Luckily for the Whites, they have a very winnable game against Watford this weekend, and they will be hoping to continue their good form and leave any threat of relegation in the rear-view mirror.
However, Watford are no pushovers. They had their chances against Liverpool last week, and if you think a Roy Hodgson team will just roll over and be relegated, you’re sorely mistaken.
Leeds will have to be at something close to their best to win here, and with that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting their starting XI for this match.
We think that Jesse Marsch will make just one change from the team that started against Southampton.
In our line-up Marsch starts Kalvin Phillips for the first time since he arrived at Elland Road as the ‘fantastic’ midfielder is now back from injury, while the rest of the team is about what you’d expect it to be.
Adam Forshaw is the man who drops out of the side, with Mateusz Klich starting alongside The Yorkshire Pirlo in the middle of the park.
Dan James again starts up front, while the backline remains the same.
