Leeds United will face Hull City with a completely revamped starting XI, including two major changes as Daniel Farke receives a massive injury boost.

Leeds United faces Hull City in their second match of the busy Easter weekend on Monday.

Despite Hull City’s winless streak in their last five Championship games, they are still in contention for a top-six finish.

After a 2-2 draw against Watford on Friday night, Daniel Farke may make some changes to keep the team fresh for the match at Elland Road.

Unfortunately, Willy Gnonto and Connor Roberts remain unfit, but there is hope for Ilia Gruev if his ankle swelling reduces in time.

Illan Meslier retains his place in goal after a solid performance at Watford.

In defense, Joe Rodon and Ethan Ampadu return as the center-back partnership, with Liam Cooper making way for Junior Firpo and Archie Gray starting on the right.

In midfield, Gruev could make a return alongside Glen Kamara if deemed fit to play.

Dan James continues on the right after a shaky performance, while Crysencio Summerville starts on the opposite flank.

Georginio Rutter is expected to be closer to full fitness after more recovery time, with Mateo Joseph and Patrick Bamford completing the attack.

Predicted XI: Meslier; Gray, Rodon, Ampadu, Firpo; Gruev, Kamara; James, Rutter, Summerville, Bamford.
