Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United will face Blackburn Rovers in the Championship this weekend.
Leeds United will be looking to build on their victory over Queens Park Rangers when they take on Blackburn Rovers at Elland Road in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side will head into the match against Blackburn on the back of a 2-0 victory over QPR at Elland Road in the league.
Bielsa does not tend to make major changes to his starting lineup until and unless it is absolutely necessary, but against Blackburn, he could make one.
Helder Costa, signed on loan from Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers in the summer transfer window, started against QPR, and the winger was taken off in the 77th minute.
The 25-year-old – who will cost Leeds £15 million in transfer fees to sign on a permanent transfer in the summer of 2020, according to The Yorkshire Evening Post – worked hard in defence and in attack and played better than he has done in other games.
With Pablo Hernandez now back to fully fitness and coming on as a substitute for Costa against QPR, the 34-year-old attacking midfielder could be drafted into the starting lineup against Blackburn.
The Spaniard, who can also operate as a winger, is one of the best and most creative players in the Championship.
This is how Leeds could line up against Blackburn this afternoon:
