Coming off such an important win against Nottingham Forest in midweek, the Spaniard may be tempted to keep things largely the same and roll with the momentum of a performance that pleased him. Gracia was delighted with the way his team attacked, wingers Jack Harrison and Luis Sinisterra taking on huge influence out wide while Patrick Bamford’s hold-up play helped keep the ball in the right area of the pitch.
Although end product has been a struggle for Brenden Aaronson, Gracia reiterated his satisfaction with the American’s contribution in his pre-match press conference, perhaps hinting that the youngster will stay in his plans even as Rodrigo’s match fitness grows. The club’s leading goalscorer could also be an option to replace Bamford in the number nine role, while Willy Gnonto and Crysencio Summerville will hope for significant involvement on Sunday. Gnonto, freshly recovered from an ankle issue sustained on international duty, was an unused substitute against Forest but Summerville once again played an important role from the bench and held a major threat on the counter attack late in the game.
There are decisions all over the pitch, however, with two fit defenders, both previously first team regulars, knocking on the door of the Whites starting XI.
Here’s the YEP predicted XI for another relegation six-pointer at Elland Road.

7. Marc Roca
Tuesday night's game showed Roca at his absolute best. That Man of the Match display will guarantee his position for Sunday's clash with Crystal Palace and Leeds will want more of the same from him. Photo: Tony Johnson

8. Jack Harrison
The winger, with a fresh new five-year deal under his arm, is in a purple patch for goals and assists. His role against Forest was pivotal and Gracia is relying on him at present. The only call is which side he starts on. Photo: Tony Johnson

9. Luis Sinisterra
Not yet at 100 per cent match fitness, Sinisterra still showed his elite ability against Forest and scored a wonderful goal. He might not play the full 90 minutes but he's a likely starter out wide. Photo: Bruce Rollinson

10. Brenden Aaronson
Gracia talked about the youngster's importance on Thursday and with Rodrigo still building up his fitness, Aaronson could well keep his role as a central attacker, supporting the number nine. His work rate has been important. Photo: Tony Johnson

11. Patrick Bamford
The only debate surrounding Bamford is his finishing, because the rest of his game was excellent against Forest. His importance to the side cannot be overlooked and he will likely keep his place as Rodrigo gets sharper as a substitute. Photo: Simon Hulme
