How Leeds should line up v Fulham

|

Goalkeeper and defenders

Felix Wiedwald (Goalkeeper) – German goalkeeper Wiedwald should retain his spot between the sticks after picking up his first clean sheet of the season against Preston, with Rob Green still overcoming a knee injury.

Luke Ayling (Right-back) – Ayling was perhaps the best player in the white of Leeds on Saturday and he is almost a shoe-in to retain his place on the right of defence, after starting all three of the Whites fixtures so far.

Pontus Jansson (Centre-back) – Although the Sweden international was shaky on his return to the side against Preston, he must retain his place in order to continually develop a relationship with Liam Cooper.

Liam Cooper (Centre-back) – Cooper must surely be one of the first names on the team sheet after retaining the captain’s armband against Preston, and keeping target man Jordan Hugill at bay.

Cameron Borthwick-Jackson (Left-back) – An impressive first Championship start for the Manchester United loanee saw him whip a number of dangerous balls into the Preston box, as well as remaining defensively solid at the back. Should start with Gaetano Berardi still out injured.
