One of Leeds United’s biggest games of the season awaits on Sunday when they host Manchester United at Elland Road. Daniel Farke’s side saw their unbeaten league start ended by Arsenal last weekend but were again competitive, causing the champions plenty of problems.
The Whites were without Joe Rodon and Daniel James for that trip to the Emirates but the latter could return against his former club. Farke said on Friday his Welsh winger had been back in training and depending on how his body reacts, should be back in the squad come Sunday.
Elsewhere, Farke said everyone else had been in training and with Leeds still in good form despite defeat at Arsenal, it’s hard to see him making too many changes. With that in mind, the YEP has predicted how the Whites boss could line up this weekend.
2. GK: James Trafford
Will no doubt be desperate to put last weekend's mistake against Arsenal in the rear-view mirror and what better opportunity to do it? Don't expect the error to affect his confidence or calmness though. | AFP via Getty Images
3. CB: James Justin
Last week's brilliant strike means Justin now has three goals in his last four games against Arsenal, which is some going for a defender. Leeds are yet to really miss the injured Joe Rodon which says everything about how the versatile defender has performed. | AFP via Getty Images
4. CB: Nico Elvedi
Still expected to get the nod over Jaka Bijol in one of a small number of positions in which there is proper competition at the minute. Will either have to be physical with Benjamin Sesko or smart to track the runs of a Bryan Mbeumo. | Getty Images
5. CB: Tarik Muharemovic
Yet to miss a minute in his debut campaign at Leeds - one of only two ever-presents - and quickly becoming a firm fan favourite. A standout performance or even goal against Manchester United would cement that status. | Annabel Lee-Ellis/PA Wire
6. RWB: Jayden Bogle
Basically playing as a right-winger currently and continued to show that attacking intent even at the Premier League champions. Could have a field day if, as in midweek, Manchester United ae without a natural left-back. | Getty Images
