Leeds predicted XI vs Crystal Palace - Ao Tanaka axed in double Daniel Farke change

Leeds United are preparing to play host to Crystal Palace on Sunday.

The Whites are still on a high after securing a 4-1 win against Newcastle United on Monday.

Goals from Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Noah Okafor made the difference in a statement three points in LS11.

Daniel Farke will be keen to build on that result as the Eagles make the journey to Yorkshire.

Things haven't been so plain sailing for Pierre Sage since coming in as he goes in search of just his second Premier League victory.

Leeds still need to be at their best if they want anything from the encounter as we assess how they could line up.

Will Jaka Bijol start for Leeds United?

It may have been a relatively straightforward win over the Magpies, but it wasn't a dreamy night for James Trafford.

His lack of urgency could have cost his side dearly as Yoane Wissa nearly pinched possession from the keeper on two occasions.

Despite that, the Englishman is likely to feature in between the sticks again.

A change may be in the pipeline ahead of him should Nico Elvedi drop out of the side.

The 29-year-old won just one duel against Newcastle, so Jaka Bijol could be introduced to deal with the physicality of Jorgen Strand Larsen.

The Slovenian could come in to join James Justin and Tarik Muharemovic, who may both start once again.

That back three could then be flanked by Gabriel Gudmundsson and Jayden Bogle after they combined for seven defensive actions last time around.

Ethan Ampadu could be the man at the base of midfield to support the backline, but who could join him in midfield?

Should Ao Tanaka be benched vs Crystal Palace?

It feels likely that Anton Stach will once again be afforded a chance to start in the middle of the park.

He may feature in a midfield two alongside Ampadu, with Ao Tanaka potentially set to drop out.

The Japan international may have won 75 per cent of his duels against Newcastle, but an attacking change may be utilised.

Brenden Aaronson could come in to add some more intensity to the forward line.

He could join Okafor and Calvert-Lewin from the start as both could feature again having found the net on Monday.

Leeds United predicted XI vs Crystal Palace: Trafford, Muharemovic, Nico Elvedi, Justin, Gudmundsson, Bogle, Ampadu, Stach, Okafor, Aaronson, Calvert-Lewin
