Daniel Farke shakes up the Leeds United starting lineup for the Championship match against Coventry City, replacing Joe Rothwell with Ilia Gruev in midfield. Illan Meslier continues in goal, while Junior Firpo starts again after his impressive performance against Cardiff City. The front four, featuring Manor Solomon, Daniel James, Brenden Aaronson, and Joel Piroe, remain unchanged.
Daniel Farke has opted to switch Joe Rothwell with Ilia Gruev in the Leeds United starting lineup for tonight's Championship encounter against Coventry City. This decision mirrors Farke's choice for the scoreless draw against Burnley, where Gruev played the full match while Rothwell remained on the bench. Gruev will partner with Ao Tanaka in the midfield. Illan Meslier retains his place in goal, maintaining his consistent presence in every Championship game this season.
He currently holds the second-highest number of clean sheets in the league with 18. At full-back, Jayden Bogle continues his starting role, while Junior Firpo's performance during the emphatic 7-0 victory over Cardiff City on Saturday secured his position. Firpo delivered three assists in his first start since recovering from a foot injury sustained during the festive period. The front four remain unchanged. Manor Solomon and Daniel James, both boasting three goals and three assists each in their last six Championship appearances, start on the wings. Farke, speaking on Tuesday, expressed no concerns regarding Brenden Aaronson, the 'buzzing' number 10, experiencing fatigue despite his impressive streak of 28 consecutive league starts. Aaronson will make his 29th consecutive appearance tonight. Joel Piroe aims to extend his scoring run after his brace against Cardiff on Saturday, bringing his season total to 12. If he finds the back of the net, it will mark the first time since September that he has scored in consecutive matches. Starting XI: Meslier; Bogle, Ampadu, Rodon, Firpo; Tanaka, Gruev; James, Aaronson, Solomon; Piroe Subs: Darlow, Byram, Wober, Struijk, Rothwell, Guilavogui, Ramazani, Gnonto, Joseph.
