Leeds United starting XI for Premier League clash v Everton at Goodison Park
Leeds United have confirmed their starting XI for the huge crunch Premier League clash against Everton on Saturday 18 February.
Michael Skubala will remain in caretaker charge at Goodison Park and has decided to make zero changes and leave the side unchanged from that 2-0 defeat last time out.
Confirmed on Twitter prior to kick-off, the Whites have welcomed back Liam Cooper onto the bench though, with his experience likely welcomed in the dressing room, although Pascal Struijk misses out completely.
Huge.
It goes without saying that this is a massive game for not only Leeds but Everton too.
Lose this one at Goodison Park and the Whites will find themselves in the bottom three, but win it and the breathing space will extend to two games and four points.
Sean Dyche will be telling his Everton side the exact same thing in the dressing room though, with the pressure gigantic for both sides as the premier League progresses.
Skubala may feel small pressure with his temporary position, but the Leeds board will see a huge explosion from the fans if it all goes wrong today.
Defeat and it will start to feel as though relegation has a small inevitability about it, and not getting in a new manager after sacking Jesse Marsch will be yet another shocker from Andrea Radrizzani and company.
Victor Orta will likely be at Goodison Park today, and he can take zero credit if three points are collected, but he will take all of the flack if it backfires.
Get that win, Leeds.
