For a man who doesn’t like changing his team around much, you have to feel for Marcelo Bielsa at the moment.
He’s just lost both goalkeepers and centre-back Pontus Jansson ahead of the Championship resuming.
Bailey Peacock-Farrell has been injured in training and Jansson hasn’t shaken off a knock he picked up against West Brom.
It means that at least one and probably two Leeds players will be making their senior debuts tomorrow.
In goal it’s between Will Huffer and Kamil Miazek, and we expect Bielsa to give the nod to the former, despite having no senior experience.
In defence, Bielsa said he could bring Kalvin Phillips back or draft in Aapo Halme.
Given the disruption to his side, we think he’ll opt to keep the consistent Phillips as the midfield shield and bring in Halme for his debut.
These forced changes suggest to us that Bielsa will keep everything else the same and that means Samu Saiz will remain on the bench with Adam Forshaw retaining his place after a run of good form.
This is the starting XI we’re expecting Leeds to put out after the latest shattering double injury blow:
