Leeds United will be facing West Bromwich Albion in the Championship this Saturday afternoon, and the pressure is on for a much-needed win. After a disappointing start to the season, including two poor results and the impending departure of Georginio Rutter, morale is low amongst supporters.
Manager Daniel Farke has some tough decisions to make, especially in the absence of Rutter. There is a debate about who should fill the playmaker role against West Brom, with options like Joel Piroe, Brenden Aaronson, and Joe Rothwell on the table.
While Farke may lean towards Piroe, I believe Rothwell could be a better choice due to his reliability and ability to bring bite to the team. Aaronson could also be a strong contender for the role, providing energy and creativity in the attacking midfield position.
Rothwell’s solid performance in midfield during the Middlesbrough match makes him a viable option to play further forward against West Brom. His skill in passing, shooting, and defensive work could be crucial for Leeds in this upcoming game.
The rest of the team should remain largely unchanged from the previous match, with players like Meslier, Bogle, and Ampadu maintaining their positions in the starting XI. Despite recent struggles, there were moments of brilliance in the match against Portsmouth that Leeds will need to replicate to secure a victory against West Brom.
Beren’s starting lineup for the match against West Brom: Meslier; Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Firpo; Ampadu, Gruev; James, Aaronson, Gnonto; Joseph.
