Leeds United predicted XI gallery for Plymouth in FA Cup with four changes and enforced continuity

The replay was a less-than-ideal outcome from the original tie at Elland Road and given the level of control Daniel Farke’s men were enjoying in the first half, it was a less-than-expected outcome. But the other end of the country is where they find themselves on Tuesday night, with the reward of a trip to either Chelsea or Aston Villa awaiting in the fifth round.

Playing on Friday night of last week plays in Leeds’ favour and means the turnaround is not as hectic as it could have been, so Farke might not feel too pressured to make wholesale changes. He will have to stick with players in a number of positions, because there aren’t too many options there. Right-back is one such position. Archie Gray returned from a one-game injury absence to start and shine at Bristol City, but Junior Firpo is the likelier of the full-backs to be rested and so Sam Byram will probably have to come in at left-back. Connor Roberts was not registered for Leeds for the official tie, he was still a Burnley player, so he is not eligible for this one.

Elsewhere in the side Farke is faced with a dilemma when it comes to who to play and who to rest. Ethan Ampadu has played every regulation minute of every game thus far since signing in the summer, yet Glen Kamara was the man rested by Farke for the first game against Plymouth Argyle. There are players in need of minutes for form reasons – like Joel Piroe – and those who need to keep their eye in when it comes to fitness – like Liam Cooper. And does the manager give Willy Gnonto another go to try and breathe further life into the winger after his goalscoring heroics at Ashton Gate? Here’s the YEP prediction.
