The Whites welcome Jurgen Klopp's Reds to Elland Road for a Super Sunday clash in front of the Sky Sports cameras following the September international break.
Leeds have had a number of players in action for their countries - Kalvin Phillips, Patrick Bamford, Liam Cooper, Tyler Roberts and Daniel James among them - in the last week at senior level.
Stuart Dallas missed out with Northern Ireland due personal reasons.
United winger Raphinha was also called up for a first appearance with Brazil - though the 24-year-old didn't travel home along with eight other Brazilians from England after not being released for international duty amid the Covid pandemic and current quarantine rules.
Brazil's FA have now lodged a formal complaint to FIFA which if applied - as expected - would see Raphinha and three Liverpool players banned from playing in LS11 this weekend. The Reds, though, believe there is no basis for a suspension of their players.
Following the arrival of Daniel James, United could hand the Welsh winger a swift debut but with only one or two training sessions at Thorp Arch ahead of the game it seems unlikely he would be thrown in immediately amid the ongoing dispute.
So, if Raphinha is indeed absent, how could Leeds start the clash in West Yorkshire this weekend? Ahead of any official team news from Bielsa, we have picked out our line-up...
7. Klich - CM
The second player to miss out at Burnley due to Covid. He also couldn't go away with Poland, so hopefully returns a little fresher than he would've.
8. Rodrigo - AM
Leeds still need and want more from the club's record signing in the number 10 role. Has been trying to adapt but hasn't quite worked as yet.
9. Dallas - RW
Is there's a problem, Dallas usually solves it. He played here a few times last season. If Raphinha misses out, we just can't see James starting after one or two training sessions.
10. Harrison - LW
Has started the season in strong form. A goal or assist would be a good way to restart after the short break.
