Leeds United team news
Ahead of the game, manager Farke provided all the Leeds United team news, as relayed by Leeds Live.
In-form winger Crysencio Summerville is continuing to contend with a shoulder injury but it isn’t keeping him sidelined. The Whites are instead managing his game time and taking the necessary precautions to keep him fit amid his impressive performances.
Otherwise, Farke said that it could be a largely similar squad to the one that faced Stoke City.
Predicted XI
Meslier (GK)
Gray
Rodon
Struijk
Byram
Ampadu
Kamara
James
Piroe
Summerville
Rutter
It seems a matter of time before Archie Gray gets a rest but with him continuing to play an ever-present, it’s hard to call when he’ll be given a rest. For that reason, the backline could remain unchanged.
In midfield, Glen Kamara may well return in Ilia Gruev’s place after being rested in the week. Summerville was only deployed off the bench in the week so he could start again, and Dan James could return while Jaidon Anthony drops to the bench.
