Leeds United have another week or so to reflect on their impressive start to the season before a busy winter period kicks off. Daniel Farke’s side head to Chelsea on Saturday November 21 and barring any injury setbacks, could have close to a fully-fit squad at Stamford Bridge.
Competition is fierce at Leeds with Farke now having to make difficult decisions every week, the Whites boss able to call on real quality from the bench - like against Tottenham Hotspur. Introductions Melvin Bard, Harry Wilson and Nah Okafor changed the tide at Elland Road with the latter scoring the winner.
Should Leeds welcome back their internationals without injury, Farke might even have some tough calls to make regarding who is in the matchday squad at Chelsea. And with that in mind, the YEP has put together its strongest XI and bench when everyone is fit and available.
19. Sub: Daniel James
A good alternative to someone like Okafor when the Swiss international starts to tire after the hour. Pacy, direct and full of energy - even if the final ball is a little inconsistent. | Getty Images
20. Sub: Jean-Matteo Bahoya
Another potential Okafor or Wilson replacement and a bit of a wildcard given his lack of exposure so far. But if Leeds are willing to commit to spending £30m next summer he's got a touch of magic for sure. Pace to burn too, which would be useful on the counter-attack. | Steve Riding
21. Sub: Lukas Nmecha
Calvert-Lewin's back-up, albeit suggestions they are of the same profile feel a little stretched given Nmecha's struggles at holding up long balls. A great bench option though, and often good for late goal. Can also play alongside the main man. | Getty Images
