MOT View: Huge call for Bielsa after Tues blunder – Predicted Leeds starting XI v Bristol City
Plenty of Leeds United fans want Kiko Casilla dropped for the game against Bristol City on Saturday.
We’ve got some bad news for them – that’s not going to happen.
Marcelo Bielsa has backed his goalkeeper up until now and he’s not going to drop him over a stupid mistake that’s got nothing to do with his admittedly poor form.
However, Casilla could be out soon anyway with his FA hearing for racist abuse set for next week.
The bottom line for Saturday is that Bielsa is almost certain to name an unchanged line-up.
Leeds played very well against Brentford and were unlucky not to get the London curse off their back.
With no new injury issues reported it means he’s got an easy job ahead of him.
Some fans want to see Jean-Kevin Augustin start but that’s not going to happen either. Patrick Bamford will lead the line and go in search of his 13th goal of the season. Unlucky for Bristol City hopefully.
There’s a chance that Tyler Roberts could come in, letting Pablo Hernandez move out to the right, with Helder Costa dropping to the bench, but we just can’t see it, especially as he missed the last game through injury.
