Confirmed Leeds United starting XI v Aston Villa
Leeds United have confirmed their starting XI for their Premier League clash against Aston Villa this evening.
Jesse Marsch has welcomed back the likes of Diego Llorente and Adam Forshaw to training this week while losing Tyler Roberts.
Confirmed on Twitter prior to kick-off, Marsch has brought back Forshaw, dropping Mateusz Klich to the bench.
The big news from this week was that Patrick Bamford will be on the pitch at some stage between now and full-time.
Marsch confirmed he was apprehensive to use the England international in the 1-0 defeat at Leicester after so long ruled out.
After training some more this week, it looks as though Bamford will make his return off the bench this evening.
The noise is going to be huge once that happens, and hopefully, we will be leading when that happens and it can push us to the final whistle.
Must win?
This is the start of a huge two games for Leeds.
After Villa this evening, Norwich also come to town on Sunday afternoon, and it is vital we win at least one of these games.
The ultimate goal as we battle relegation would be six points, of course, but we’re sure not many would turn their noses up at four.
With the return of Kalvin Phillips and Liam Cooper close, we need to pick up points now in these very winnable games and then keep pushing after.
It was superb at Leicester on Saturday, but we left with nothing, we simply cannot let that happen again this evening.
