Leeds manager Thomas Christiansen goes into the weekend with a huge selection headache due to the form or Pablo Hernandez and Samu Saiz.

The Whites host Preston in their second game of the Championship and there is already much debate amid fans as to who will start in the central attacking midfield role.

Hernandez completed 90 minutes in the opening day win over Bolton last weekend and started the campaign in good form with an assist to his name.

The 32-year-old is entering his second season at Elland Road and the playmaker has become a popular player due to his brilliant technical ability.

However, summer arrival Saiz lay down a huge marker on Wednesday night and is expected to rival Hernandez for a spot in the starting XI.

Saiz played in the number 10 role against Port Vale in the League Cup and scored a stunning hat-trick to become an instant favourite.

This Is Futbol has picked out three ways that Christiansen could handle his selection dilemma, including one where one of them is pushed out to a wide position.
