Leeds United will welcome Fulham at Elland Road this Saturday as they look to earn a win at home in the Premier League. The Whites secured an impressive 3-1 victory away at Derby County recently, so they would be eager to keep their good form going this weekend.
Daniel Farke will set his men up in a 3-5-2 formation and is expected to make a few changes to his first XI for this game. Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Brenden Aaronson and Anton Stach could all play from the start of this clash.
3-5-2 Leeds United Predicted Lineup To Face Fulham
Defence
Lucas Perri will play in between the sticks for the Whites after he was rested in the FA Cup recently. Joe Rodon, Jaka Bijol and Pascal Struijk will make up Leeds’ backline as they focus on maintaining a solid shape on the defensive end of the field.
Jayden Bogle and Sebastiaan Bornauw are both major doubts for this game. However, Sam Byram will provide cover for the defensive positions on the Leeds bench.
Midfield
Anton Stach, Ethan Ampadu and Brenden Aaronson will anchor the midfield for the Yorkshire club as they focus on making life tough for the opposition at the centre of the park and orchestrate some good chances for their teammates in the final third.
Gabriel Gudmundsson will try to catch the eye as the left-sided wide player, while James Justin gets the nod to prove his value on the right flank. Both of them will try to get in behind the opponent’s backline at every chance they can get.
Ao Tanaka and Sean Longstaff will be named on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if required.
Attack
Noah Okafor and Dominic Calvert-Lewin will lead the line for Leeds up top. Both of them will have to combine well if they want to threaten the Fulham goal this weekend.
Lucas Nmecha will be available for selection on the bench as he waits for his chance to influence the game in the final quarter if Leeds are in need of a goal by then. However, Dan James remain sidelined for the Yorkshire giants due to injury.
