Leeds United predicted line-up for Leicester City clash as Jesse Marsch welcomes back star man

Jesse Marsch will take in his first game as Leeds United head coach in Saturday lunchtime's clash at Leicester City - and this is how we think the Whites will line up.

Former RB Leipzig and RB Salzburg boss Marsch was unveiled as United's new head coach on Monday evening, less than 36 hours after promotion-winning hero Marcelo Bielsa had been sacked.

Saturday's 4-0 defeat at home to Tottenham proved Bielsa's last game in charge, the Whites falling to a fourth-straight defeat and having now lost five of their last six.

Leeds sit fifth-bottom, two points clear of the drop zone, and Marsch's tenure will begin with Saturday's clash against Brendan Rodgers' Foxes side at the King Power Stadium in a 12.30pm kick-off.

Marsch provided his first batch of team news at his opening Whites press conference on Thursday afternoon and this is how we think the American boss will line Leeds up.
