Bielsa To Make One Change | 4-1-4-1 Leeds United Predicted Lineup Vs Manchester United

Leeds United will clash heads with Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon, hoping to pick up a win on their home turf. The Red Devils will be coming into the match on the back of an encouraging 2-0 win against Brighton, whereas the Whites recorded a disappointing 3-0 loss to Everton on February 12.

Marcelo Bielsa will probably opt for the 4-1-4-1 formation with a couple of tweaks from the last game, as Adam Forshaw looks likely to make his way back into the starting eleven.

4-1-4-1 Leeds United Predicted Lineup Vs Manchester United

Defence

Illan Meslier will continue to operate between the sticks for the upcoming home encounter. The French shot-stopper will hope to put up a strong performance and secure a clean sheet on Sunday.

Diego Llorente will form the centre-half partnership with Pascal Struijk at the heart of Leeds’ backline.

Stuart Dallas is a guaranteed starter at the left-back position, whereas Luke Ayling will fill in on the other flank as the right-back. The duo would be looking to stretch the opposition backline and create meaningful chances for the front-men.

Midfield

Robin Koch and Adam Forshaw will slot into the holding midfield positions, with the former occupying a more defensive role.

Rodrigo is expected to start in the attacking midfield position. The Brazilian international would be determined to set up some clear-cut goal scoring chances for his teammates.

Rodrigo will be accompanied by Jack Harrison and Raphinha on either side, playing on the left and right-wing, respectively. The latter has been in fine form lately, often creating menace for the opposition defenders down the right-flank; however, he’ll be hoping to get his name on the scoresheet this weekend.

Mateusz Klich will have to settle for a place on the bench, but he might be called upon in the latter stages of the game if needed.

Attack

Daniel James will lead the line for the hosts against Manchester United. The Welsh striker will have to make the most of his chances when he faces off against the United defence that has conceded three goals in their last five matches across all competitions.
