Goalkeeper and defence
Felix Wiedwald (Goalkeeper) – The German’s place is under threat after his horror show against Sheffield Wednesday, but Christiansen could hold off from summoning Andy Lonergan for at least one more game. The likelihood is that the summer signing will be given the chance to show he has learned from his mistakes.
Luke Ayling (Right-back) – Mr Consistent has had a few off days of late, but he has plenty of credit in the bank and is certain to keep his place on the right side of defence.
Pontus Jansson (Centre-back) – Pulled out of the Sweden squad for their World Cup qualifiers, but the bulletins from those close to him is that the defensive talisman is fit, firing and back in training.
Liam Cooper (Centre-back) – The United skipper was in the form of his life until his recklessness was rewarded with a red card against Cardiff a fortnight ago. Has done enough to warrant selection ahead of Matthew Pennington and return to the starting XI.
Vurnon Anita (Left-back) – It is no coincidence that Leeds’ two worst defence performances of the season – against Cardiff and Sheffield Wednesday – came when Anita was out of the team. The former Newcastle man is a class above the wholehearted but limited Gaetano Berardi and is set to be recalled for the Swiss.
