Jesse Marsch lost his first home game in charge of Leeds United on Thursday as the Whites fell to a devastating 3-0 defeat to Aston Villa.
Patrick Bamford returned to the field of play for the first time since December, when the striker suffered an injury to his hamstring while celebrating a late equaliser against Brentford.
It was refreshing to see the Whites number 9 back in action on Thursday, though as Marsch was strengthened at one end of the pitch, he was weakened at the other.
Junior Firpo was stretchered off the pitch in the final minutes of the game with a suspected knee injury. The exact details of the issue are yet to be confirmed but the full-back looked to be in a lot of pain and will not feature in this weekend's match against Norwich.
This is how we think Leeds could line up on Sunday.

7. CM - Mateusz Klich
Forshaw was struggling to be fit for Leicester so Marsch may want to protect him with such a short turnaround. He lasted 67 minutes against Villa and Klich was bright in a dim team display. Photo: Alex Dodd

8. LW - Jack Harrison
Marsch made it clear in his pre-match press conference ahead of the Villa clash that he really likes Harrison and his work ethic. It remains to be seen how successful the manager's efforts to convert him to more of an interior player will be. Photo: George Wood

9. RW - Raphinha
Raphinha showed flashes of confidence and flair against Villa after weeks off the boil. Hopefully he can build on this for Sunday's game. Photo: Stu Forster

10. ST - Dan James
Found little joy against Villa but the Welshman's is a valuable asset to the press Marsch is trying to get right. Photo: Stu Forster

11. ST - Joe Gelhardt
Rodrigo did nothing to convince Marsch he should keep his starting place in his first-half showing against Villa. Fans' calls for Joffy to start could finally be answered on Sunday as Marsch is cautious of 'endangering' Bamford. Photo: STu Forster
