Leeds face Fulham this week.

After a disappointing draw against Preston North End on Saturday, Leeds have another home game this Tuesday.

Leeds host promotion rivals Fulham, who pipped them to a play-off spot at the end of last season.

Boss Thomas Christiansen has bought well this summer and has plenty of options, and rotating the squad in attack is likely, with this being the fourth game in all competitions in under a fortnight.

Here is a look at how Leeds could line up…

Leeds predicted lineup vs Preston

There are two key changes in attack, which see Spanish summer signing Samu Saiz come in for veteran Pablo Hernandez.

Saiz scored a hat-trick against Port Vale last week on his debut but was left on the bench at the weekend, possibly with this key fixture against Fulham in mind.

It is sensible to give Pablo Hernandez a rest with a player as talented as Saiz waiting in the wings.

The second change would see experienced winger Stuart Dallas come in for Kemar Roofe, to try and help provide more opportunities for striker Chris Wood.

Opponents Fulham are looking for their first victory of the season having begun the campaign with two 1-1 draws at home to Norwich City and away to Reading.
