Leeds predicted XI vs Sheffield United: Koch and Rodrigo start
With the international break all but over, Leeds United fans can finally start to allow themselves to turn their attention to Saturday’s clash with Sheffield United.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side have a golden opportunity to put themselves past the 40 point mark in the Premier League table this weekend and move another step closer towards securing a second straight year in the top flight.
Leeds have injury and illness worries to contend with heading into the game. So all eyes will be on Bielsa’s press conference and the fitness update he provides.
But ahead of that, perhaps there may be two changes from the side that beat Fulham before the break.
The first change involves Diego Llorente. The Spaniard enjoyed a good run in the side. But the centre-back has done a fair amount of travelling with the national team.
Leeds do not need to take a risk on Llorente with Robin Koch returning from injury in recent weeks. So perhaps Koch – who earns £46,000-a-week, – may come in for his first start since December.
The other change may come in the number 10 position. Tyler Roberts was superb in the last few games. However, his international break was marred by the decision to send him home from Wales camp due to a breach of the protocols (via ).
On the one hand, Leeds may welcome Roberts getting slightly longer to rest than expected. But the manner in which that additional rest came may perhaps tempt Bielsa to opt for Rodrigo – if the Spaniard is back fit.
With that in mind, here is how Leeds may line up against Paul Heckingbottom’s Blades…
