How Leeds United could line up against Manchester City

Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Leeds United could line up against Manchester City on Saturday.

Leeds United will be attempting to make it three Premier League victories in a row when they continue their 2020-21 campaign away to Manchester City on Saturday afternoon.

The Whites, who are currently 11th in the table, all again be without the services of long-term absentee Adam Forshaw this weekend as he battles back from a groin injury.

Marcelo Bielsa's side do not have any other fitness concerns, but Jack Harrison is ineligible to face his parent club, meaning that there will have to be at least one change from the side that started last weekend's 2-1 victory over Sheffield United at Elland Road.

Harrison's spot in the starting XI could be taken by Helder Costa, with Bielsa unlikely to alter his formation for the clash with the runaway leaders.

Rodrigo Moreno and Mateusz Klich are options for change, but the pair are expected to again start on the bench alongside fit-again Robin Koch.

Patrick Bamford has enjoyed an impressive 2020-21 Premier League campaign, scoring 14 times and providing seven assists in 30 appearances, and the 27-year-old will again lead the line.

There will also be a spot in the final third of the field for Raphinha, who has scored six times and provided six assists in 25 league outings for the Whites this term.

Leeds possible starting lineup: Meslier; Ayling, Llorente, Cooper, Alioski; Costa, Phillips, Roberts, Dallas, Raphinha; Bamford
