Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has made a change to his starting XI for the Championship clash against Coventry City, opting for Ilia Gruev in midfield. The Whites boss is looking to maintain their strong form in the league.
Daniel Farke has made a tactical switch for Leeds United's Championship encounter against Coventry City , opting for Ilia Gruev in midfield instead of Joe Rothwell . This decision mirrors Farke's selection for the previous match against Burnley, where Gruev played the full 90 minutes while Rothwell remained on the bench. Gruev will partner with Ao Tanaka in the central midfield area.
Illan Meslier will continue his impressive run in goal, having been a constant presence in the Championship this season, playing every game. He currently boasts an impressive 18 clean sheets, placing him second in the league for this statistic.Jayden Bogle retains his starting position at right-back, while Junior Firpo, who delivered a standout performance against Cardiff City with three assists, is also in the starting lineup. The attacking quartet remains unchanged, with Manor Solomon and Daniel James both in form, contributing three goals and three assists each in their last six Championship matches. Brenden Aaronson, who has been remarkably consistent with 28 consecutive league starts, will be looking to maintain his impressive run in the number 10 role. Joel Piroe, hoping to score in consecutive matches for the first time since September, will lead the attack after his brace against Cardiff City, taking his season tally to 12 goals. The starting XI is: Meslier; Bogle, Ampadu, Rodon, Firpo; Tanaka, Gruev; James, Aaronson, Solomon; Piroe. Subs: Darlow, Byram, Wober, Struijk, Rothwell, Guilavogui, Ramazani, Gnonto, Joseph
