FULHAM VS LEEDS: Leeds Predicted lineup(4-2-1-3) Gnonto, Wober, Cooper and Forshaw to start as Javi Gracia makes changes in must-win clash
Leeds travel to London to face Fulham in what will be one of the most crucial games for the Whites this season.
Javi Gracia’s side have the worst defensive record in the Premier League so far this season having conceded a total of 60 goals from their 31 matches, shipping a third of their top-flight goals (20) across their last six matches.
The Whites remain embroiled in a relegation scrap as they currently sit 16th in the table, just two points above the bottom three, and Javi Gracia has urged his side to “improve as quick as possible” if they are to pull away from danger.
However, success on the road could prove challenging this weekend having only picked up nine of their 29 points this season away from home, while they have lost all five of their Premier League matches in London this term, conceding 16 goals in the process.
Gracia is sure to ponder changes, particularly in defence, following the last two performances, with captain Liam Cooper, Maximilian Wober and Luke Ayling all looking to force their way back into the starting lineup.
Midfielder Adam Forshaw will be looking to start his first Leeds game since December at the expense of either Marc Roca or Weston McKennie, while Sinisterra – who limped off with a lower leg issue against Liverpool – should be replaced by Wilfried Gnonto in the starting Xi.
Leeds United possible starting lineup:
Meslier; Ayling, Cooper, Wober, Firpo; McKennie, Forshaw; Harrison, Aaronson, Gnonto; Rodrigo
