Leeds lineup vs. Man City: Predicted XI for Premier League clash

Leeds United will be without just one first-team player for Saturday’s Premier League clash with Manchester City at Elland Road.

Forward Noah Okafor is sidelined for between two and four weeks with a hamstring problem, but he is the only Whites player known to be battling with an injury.

Left-back Gabriel Gudmundsson was taken off at half time in Leeds’ 1-1 draw at Aston Villa last weekend after feeling unwell, but head coach Daniel Farke has confirmed that the left-back is available for selection against Man City.

Farke is likely to stick with a five-at-the-back system, with Gudmundsson and Jayden Bogle providing the width as wing-backs while James Justin, Joe Rodon and Patrick Struijk continue as centre-backs.

Anton Stach returned from injury and scored a superb 35-yard free kick in the draw at Villa. Only Ian Harte in 2000-01 (four) has ever scored more free kicks in a Premier League season for Leeds than Stach, who is expected to continue in midfield alongside Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev.

Stach could operate in a more advanced midfield position and link up with Brenden Aaronson in the final third, while striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin - who scored one of his 10 PL goals in Leeds' 3-2 defeat at the Etihad in November - is expected to lead the line.

Leeds United possible starting lineup: Darlow; Justin, Rodon, Struijk; Bogle, Ampadu, Gruev, Gudmundsson; Stach, Aaronson; Calvert-Lewin
