Leeds play host to Nottingham Forest on Saturday evening.
Marcelo Bielsa got his Leeds United side back to winning ways on Wednesday night with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Ipswich Town, but is expected to make changes ahead of Saturday evening’s clash against Nottingham Forest.
Kemar Roofe rediscovered his goalscoring touch with a header from 10 yards out after an inch-perfect cross from Pablo Hernandez, before captain Liam Cooper finished superbly after a well-worked corner.
The win sent Leeds back to the top of the Championship, after West Bromwich Albion suffered a surprise 4-1 loss to Derby County despite Frank Lampard’s side being away from home.
The likes of Hernandez, Roofe and Gaetano Berardi all started after returning from injury, but the latter was forced off with what seemed to be another injury in the 27th minute – being replaced by Stuart Dallas.
Switzerland international Berardi is likely to miss Saturday’s clash, then, but Pontus Jansson is available after serving a one-match suspension. Despite the birth of newborn daughter, he could come in and replace Berardi on Saturday.
Manchester City loanee Jack Harrison, 21, struggled against Ipswich on Wednesday and was taken off before the hour mark and replaced by Tom Pearce. With Jack Clarke waiting in the wings, Harrison is under pressure.
Starting the 17-year-old winger, who has impressed in substitute appearances against Brentford and Blackburn, could be just the on-form ammunition that Leeds require to outdo Forest.
Here is the side we think Leeds will field to take on Forest, with Bielsa making two changes from the win over Ipswich:
