Here is how we predict Leeds United will line up against Ipswich Town this weekend:

Leeds United do not have long to bask in the afterglow of their dramatic EFL Cup victory against Burnley, with the matches coming thick and fast for Thomas Christiansen’s side.

Next up for the Whites is a home match against Ipswich Town and they will be hoping to get back to winning ways in the league after losing 1-0 to Millwall last weekend.

Christiansen expects central defenders Pontus Jansson and Liam Cooper to be available for the clash despite recent injury scares, while loanee Matthew Pennington could also be in contention after recovering from a setback of his own.

While a much-changed Leeds side saw off top flight opposition in the third round of the cup on Tuesday evening, their manager is expected to rotate yet again, especially when you consider some of the Whites’ stars played 120 minutes before enduring a penalty shoot-out.

The trick for Leeds is keeping everyone fresh for the difficult challenges ahead and, given how much he put into the last match, even star performer Stuart Dallas may have to make do with a place on the bench yet again when Ipswich come to town.

With all that in mind here is how we expect Leeds to line up for Saturday’s clash:
