Daniel Farke may make four changes to his starting lineup as Leeds United travels south to play West Brom on Friday night in an attempt to snap their losing streak.
Leeds has had a challenging few weeks. Only one victory in four, a decisive 4-0 triumph over Ipswich. However, draws against Coventry and defeats to Sunderland and Preston have overshadowed the significance of that victory.
Karl Darlow will enter after Illan Meslier got sent off in the last game. Darlow is a “brilliant lad,” according to Farke, who praised the signing and warned the Leeds players to expect more long clearances.
Rotation might also be involved. Three days after the defeat at Deepdale, Leeds, who have now played four games in fourteen days, travel to Preston to face West Brom. Monday night in Birmingham, then.
The team I predicted to play Leeds United against West Brom on Friday
Therefore, it stands to reason that Farke will alter his lineup on Friday. Following the defeat against Preston, Farke took a go at Archie Gray. He has logged ten consecutive ninety-minute games.
Gray needs to take a nap and some time to gather his thoughts. Maybe moving Djed Spence to the right side of defense and adding Sam Byram to the back line will give Leeds the defensive edge they need to defeat West Brom.
As Ilia Gruev has been playing more lately, Glen Kamara might be replaced. In the end, Willy Gnonto will undoubtedly start, as Dan James has not performed well in the last few Leeds games.
That’s four potential adjustments that Farke might make. Meslier, Gray, Kamara, and James are gone. Darlow, Byram, Gruev, and Gnonto enter the game as Leeds attempts to resume winning on Friday night.
