Leeds United host Sunderland in the Championship on Tuesday night with choices at Daniel Farke's disposal so we tasked our club writer to name the XI he would pick
Babies should not be thrown out with the bathwater. Leeds United’s first loss in 16 on Saturday is an easy trigger for a lot of concerns and hand-wringing about a title race they weren’t in at the turn of the year.
Given the Sunderland match comes just three days after the Coventry trip and there have been one or two players off their best, there may be grounds for a couple of changes rather than a six-man overhaul. Connor Roberts’s fitness is tied up with one train of thought. As exciting as it was to have him back in contention at the weekend, Daniel Farke today said care was still needed with the right-back after his injury issue. The 28-year-old did not train on Sunday and will not be ready for 90 minutes until the Middlesbrough game at the earliest.
Byram did well enough against Jaden Philogene last week and could have a decent go at keeping Jack Clarke quiet. His selection would release Archie Gray into midfield, where Glen Kamara can finally get a breather and reset himself after last week’s illness.
