Leeds United kick off their home Premier League campaign at home to Brentford on Sunday in what looks set to be an exciting clash. Both sides have enjoyed two wins from two in all competitions so far, Daniel Farke’s side twice beating Nottingham Forest without conceding a goal.
That latter victory, a 2-0 turnover in the Carabao Cup, was earned despite Farke making six changes from his first Premier League line-up of the season four days earlier. A five-day break between that and Sunday should be plenty for those who have started both - the likes of Ethan Ampadu or Tarik Muharemovic - to go again.
Farke could switch things up elsewhere, however, particularly with players like Noah Okafor pushing to make an impact in the final third. And with that in mind, the YEP has attempted to predict how Farke could line his side up on Sunday.

3. CB: Joe Rodon
After two strong defensive showings, a return to Elland Road could see Rodon given more freedom to push high and wide on the right. Expected to be a key battle area against the likes of Kevin Schade or Jaidon Anthony. | Getty Images
4. CB: Jaka Bijol
A return to the starting-XI with Carabao Cup debutant Nico Elvedi benched - through no fault of his own admittedly. The Swiss international was outstanding in midweek but equally, Bijol was brilliant in the prior league game. It's a good headache for Farke to have. | Getty Images
5. CB: Tarik Muharemovic
Already becoming a fan-favourite at Leeds and another all-round defensive performance at Elland Road will do him no harm. Brentford are a serious Premier League test, however, and he'll be pressed heavily when in possession.
6. RWB: Jayden Bogle
When was the last time Bogle had a bad game? At risk of jinxing things, he's been so consistent for months now and gives Leeds such an outlet on that right-hand side. A lovely player to watch in full flow too.
