Leeds United team news v Preston as Sky Sports pundit shares if players will be dropped
We’re delighted to welcome former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson as our exclusive columnist as each week he’ll be giving his views on the biggest talking points at Leeds United
Paul Robinson has insisted that any Leeds United player at 60/70 per cent will be dropped against Preston on Tuesday 26 December at Deepdale.
The Whites travel to Preston for the early kick-off in their second game of four across 10 days with Daniel Farke sticking with the same starting squad consistently.
Robinson has shared that changes to the side will depend on fitness, but if everyone is feeling fine, he doubts changes will be made at all.
“It depends on the fitness and the fatigue of the players,” he exclusively told MOT Leeds News.
“We all know the demands that are put on the players this time of the year, it’s a fantastic time.
“It depends on injuries and fatigue, and where these players are at, he will put out his strongest XI regardless of how many games everyone has played, if everyone is 100% fit.
“If there are players at 60/70%, he probably won’t risk them but if all his XI are fit, he will play them.”
Leeds also take on West Brom and Birmingham in the coming days, and could be sitting in the top two of the Championship table after New Year’s Day if results go their way.
In other Leeds United news, Farke has axed one player from the squad altogether despite him being available.
