Leeds face Ipswich in the Championship on Saturday as they look to continue their incredible start to the season at Elland Road.

Thomas Christiansen has everyone available for the lunchtime kick-off apart from striker Caleb Ekuban, and that gives him a great problem with so many players on form.

His heavily changed side knocked Burnley out of the League Cup on Tuesday and proved how much quality and depth he has at his disposal.

However, he’s expected to return to a more familiar line-up on Saturday in the Championship, making ten changes.

Just Luke Ayling is expected to retain his place from the victory against Burnley, and star defender Pontus Jansson should return after missing the midweek game with a knock.

New striker Jay-Roy Grot started on Tuesday but didn’t take his chance to shine and he won’t retain his place up top.

Pierre-Michel Lasogga came on in the dying minutes of the game, and then had to play the full 30 minutes of extra time.

He also scored Leeds first penalty in the shootout and he’ll lead the attack for Leeds at Elland Road.

Here is the line-up This Is Futbol excepts Christiansen to announce on Saturday.
