Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has multiple availability issues to deal with. Stuart Dallas (Femoral fracture) and Pascal Struijk (Groin injury) will not be playing here.
From our viewpoint, The Whites appear most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup using Illan Meslier, Connor Roberts, Ethan Ampadu, Joe Rodon, Sam Byram, Ilia Gruev, Glen Kamara, Daniel James, Georginio Rutter, C. Summerville and Patrick Bamford.

Weโre inclined to think that Leeds United have it within them to be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.
Conversely, Sheffield Wednesday could well struggle to get goals of their own- but, we do see them scoring.
Accordingly, we see a fairly comfortable 1-3 victory for Leeds United come full-time.
