Much-changed Leeds United lineup vs Millwall predicted as Brenden Aaronson spot comes under greatest scrutiny yet

Leeds United manager Daniel Farke is expected to name a much-changed XI from the one which bowed out of the FA Cup at the Fourth Round against Millwall last month.

The Lions visit Elland Road for the second time this calendar year but will likely face a very different proposition to the one they met a matter of weeks ago.

Farke made 10 changes to the lineup which failed to score against the fellow Championship side in the FA Cup and paid dearly for it as the team lacked rhythm and cohesion, allowing Millwall to capitalise and progress to the next round.

Goalkeeper Liam Roberts kept a clean sheet last time out at Elland Road but will play no part on this occasion as he serves a six-match ban for a dangerous challenge on Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta, which also took place in the FA Cup.

Leeds are unlikely to make too many changes despite losing out at Portsmouth last Saturday. Farke is pleased the team has been able to get three full nights rest after the Fratton Park disappointment, therefore amendments to the starting lineup are likely to be few and far between.

That said, the likes of Ilia Gruev and Brenden Aaronson have come in for scrutiny on social media, which may prompt Farke to consider his options in midfield on Wednesday evening.

Here's how we expect Leeds to start against Millwall.
