Leeds United will face Fulham as they travel to Craven Cottage on Saturday for this crucial Premier League encounter. The Whites suffered a disappointing 6-1 thrashing at the hands of Liverpool in their last league outing, so they will have to pick themselves up as they fight relegation in the upcoming fixtures.
Javi Gracia will set his team up in a 4-3-3 formation and could name a strong first XI for this game. Rodrigo will lead the line while Illan Meslier operates in goal for this weekend’s contest.
4-3-3 Leeds United Predicted XI Vs Fulham
Illan Meslier will feature in between the sticks for the Whites after shipping six goals in his last league outing. Maximilian Wober will function alongside Robin Koch at the centre of the Leeds backline as they try to frustrate the Palace attackers this weekend.
Luke Ayling would look to impress as a right-back, while Junior Firpo looks to perform well as the left-back. Both of them will have to perform their defensive duties well if they are to stop the opposition from creating problems from the wide areas.
Pascal Struijk and Liam Cooper will take a spot on the bench to provide cover for the defensive positions.
Midfield
Adam Forshaw, Weston McKennie and Marc Roca will try to give a good account of themselves at the centre of the park as they assume the duties of dominating possession and shielding the backline.
Stuart Dallas is unlikely to recover in time for this contest, so Garcia will be without options on the bench to provide cover for the midfield.
Attack
Jack Harrison and Wilfried Gnonto will operate in the wide areas as part of Gracia’s attack. Harrison and Gnonto will have to put their pace to good use on the flanks.
Rodrigo will lead the line for the West Yorkshire club in the final third. He has to find a way to cause a few headaches for the Fulham centre-backs on the counter if Leeds are to stand a chance of securing a positive result this weekend.
Georginio Rutter will have to be content with a place on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the latter stages if Gracia opts to call upon his services.
