View: Predicted Leeds United starting XI v Manchester United

Leeds United take on Manchester United at Elland Road on Sunday afternoon which promises to be a huge occasion.

Marcelo Bielsa has many decisions to make after the embarrassing defeat away at Everton last time out in the Premier League.

Tickets have been like gold dust for the battle of the roses showdown, and changes are surely guaranteed.

Illan Meslier will start in goal but will be hoping for more protection from his back four in this one than he got over the weekend.

Stuart Dallas looks likely to miss this one in a huge blow and will be replaced by Junior Firpo at left-back.

The rest of the back four will contain Robin Koch, Diego Llorente and Luke Ayling with another slight reshuffle.

Pascal Struijk will be pushed to the base of midfield to allow for that to happen, with Koch embarrassed in that role in the reverse fixture.

Adam Forshaw will come back into midfield, after leaving him out from the start at Goodison Park was a massive error.

That will push Mateusz Klich into the attacking midfield role, one the Polish international much prefers as it limits his defensive work.

Dan James and Raphinha will start out wide, with Jack Harrison simply not the same since his hat trick at West Ham, with his delivery shocking at times.

Finishing the lineup will be Rodrigo in the number nine role, with our record signing finally having the chance to show what he can do again in that role.

Here’s how we expect the Whites to line up…
