Team predictions

Who should start the game for Leeds at Huddersfield?

|

After an average performance but good win at Blackburn, who should start the massive game on Sunday? This is the team I would play.




GK – Rob Green – After watching the goal back I don’t really think it was his fault, it bounced awkwardly, I just think it was one of those things.




Into the defence…




RB – Luke Ayling – After a down performance by his standards on Wednesday, he’ll need to bounce back. Definitely been in our top 3 players so far this season.

CB – Kyle Bartley – Again, he wasn’t at his best on Wednesday but it’s good we can get through a down game for so many players and still win.

CB – Pontus Jansson – Finally, he has signed a permanent contract and what a way to celebrate it, beating Huddersfield. He was ridiculous against Blackburn, he won every header that came his way and of course scored a bullet header at the death.

LB – Gaetano Berardi –
Please score. All I want in life is Berardi to score and what better place than away at Huddersfield? He will commit crimes in celebration. It’ll be interesting to see what happens when Taylor returns.




Into the midfield…




CDM – Liam Bridutt –
He’s been consistent since he’s come back from injury I’d say, our midfield was good when he was out but it’s risen a level with him in the team.

CDM – Ronaldo Vieira –
O’Kane hasn’t been up to it since he’s come back and I feel we need a bit more physicality for the game on Sunday, Vieira to let Mooy know he’s there early on will do.

CAM – Pablo Hernandez – A big player for a big game, we need him to control this game, as we’ll probably need to score more than one goal. How good are his corners by the way?




Into the attack..




LW – Stuart Dallas – He scored a great goal on Wednesday and his defensive work is very underrated by some fans, I think we’ll need him to help out Berardi against a good Huddersfield team.

RW – Modou Barrow –
We have many options here, but with Dallas on one wing we need someone with a lot of pace on the other, this guy has more pace than Sacko and Sacko has been poor recently, so why not give Barrow a go? We’ll have good options on the bench too.

ST – Chris Wood – He was unlucky not to score a freekick against Blackburn but other than that he just didn’t have the service to be in the game, I can see him bagging on Sunday though.

Who do you want to start against Huddersfield and what do you think the score will be? Let us know in the comments.

    Must win game Sunday and we have a really good attacking front line with the wingers we have just got in will be great to get some revenge on Huddersfield. Chris Wood is a must start for me so is hernandez the defence picks itself really Viera should start he’s a machine when he gets going can really dictate the fame and turn it on its head bridcutt along side will do just nicely we should have a good game on out hands I will be watching and enjoying prediction leeds 2 Huddersfield 1 MOT FOREVER

      Bonjour Henri – how can you not want Doukara in your side ? He has more to his game than Dallas and is very hard to shake off the ball. Dallas is OK but we need one pacey man in the front three and so I’d start with Roofe on the right

    Doukara has played well in League games all season. We need his power in the front three: I’d chose him over Dallas

    I’d be tempted to play an extra central midfielder, like Vieira and totally pack the midfield, just like Huddersfield did at Elland Road.
    It would be crazy to throw both of the new signings into such a tough game and Monk should really only bring them on as sub, if Leeds are struggling in the game. With an extra central midfielder, then Hernandez would maybe get more freedom, unless he is roughed-up, like he was in the Barnsley game. Maybe I’m being cautious, but Huddersfield look a very strong team and it’s their big Cup Final of mass hysteria.
    My team would be – Green, Ayling, Berardi, Bartley, Jansson, Bridcutt, O’Kane, Vieira, Dallas, Hernandez, Wood.
