Predicted Leeds United XI at Sheffield United: Rodrigo starts, Llorente to wait for debut

Leeds United travel to Sheffield today looking to pick up their second three points of the season.

Both the Whites’ opening games have ended 4-3, with last weekend’s win over Fulham coming off the back of the same scoreline away at Liverpool on opening weekend.

Manager Marcelo Bielsa has a couple of big selection decisions to make. The Whites will be missing Pablo Hernandez for the second week in succession, meaning either Rodrigo or Tyler Roberts will come into the fold.

At the back, Bielsa must decide whether to go with new signing, Diego Llorente, or whether he sticks with last week’s pairing of Robin Koch and Liam Cooper.

Here, then, is our predicted XI. We think Llorente might make the bench, while Rodrigo will get the nod ahead of Roberts in attacking midfield.
