Leeds United confirmed XI v Manchester City: Kalvin Phillips starts
Jesse Marsch has named his Leeds United eleven as he’s hoping to pick up something from their game against title contenders Manchester City.
He has made three changes to the side that drew against Crystal Palace.
The likes of Junior Firpo, Pascal Struijk and Robin Koch have come in against City.
Dan James has been leading the line in the last few weeks but he will play no part in this side.
Diego Llorente and Mateusz Klich are the other causalities as Marsch has wielded the axe on his senior players.
By the looks of it, Rodrigo is expected to lead the line while a back five may very well be on to combat the ultra attacking Citizens.
Cannot lose
Even against the defending champions, this is not a game that Leeds can lose.
Burnley dropping points has certainly helped the Whites out but they can’t afford to leave their fate in the hands of others.
This is the opportunity for them to sit deep and frustrate City all the way until the final whistle.
Hopefully, Jesse Marsch has something special planned for what is undoubtedly one of the toughest games of his managerial career.
Anything from this game will be treated as a bonus and we cannot wait to see how the side fares in this contest.
Pep Guardiola’s men will be gung ho from minute one so they’ve got to be prepared for anything that he can possibly throw at them.
In other Leeds United news, the Whites are leading the race to complete a major signing and have already opened talks to seal a £25m deal.
