Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United will face Queens Park Rangers at Elland Road, and Eddie Nketiah could make his first start in the Championship.
Leeds United will be looking to return to winning ways in the Championship on Saturday afternoon when they take on Queens Park Rangers at Elland Road.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side will head into the match against QPR on the back of a goalless draw with Yorkshire rivals Sheffield Wednesday in the league.
Bielsa does not usually make a lot of changes to his team, but against Mark Warburton’s side, he may have to do so.
With Pablo Hernandez fully fit and available, the Spanish attacking midfielder – who is hugely popular among the Elland Road faithful – is likely to go straight into the starting lineup and will be the creator-in-chief for the team.
Patrick Bamford has an injury, and while it may not be serious, it could open the door for Eddie Nketiah to get into the team.
The 20-year-old striker, signed on loan from Premier League club Arsenal in the summer transfer window, has yet to make a start in the league for the Whites, but he could do so against QPR and could lead the line.
With Liam Cooper fit, he will partner Ben White at the heart of the Leeds defence, with Stuart Dallas moving to left-back amid injury concerns on Ezgjan Alioski.
This is how Leeds could line up against QPR at Elland Road in the Championship this weekend.
