Daniel Farke is not one to ring the changes when it comes to his starting lineup, but the Leeds United boss could be tempted to try something a little different for the visit of Southampton this weekend.
The manager spoke extensively about the need for experience in his team during Thursday’s pre-match press conference, which could necessitate the recall of Finnish international Glen Kamara to central midfield. This could mean there is no place in the starting XI for teenager and Championship Young Player of the Year Archie Gray, should Farke prefer experience over youthful enthusiasm and running power.
Leeds could also set up with Sam Byram at right-back once again given Farke’s admission that his decision to substitute the experienced defender caused the concession of two late set-piece goals at Queens Park Rangers last Friday. Connor Roberts is a doubt, while Wales teammate Dan James is ruled out and Patrick Bamford’s availability will be dependent on whether he participates in team training on Friday.
