Leeds United predicted XI at Forest: seven changes, two debuts, new Dan James role | OneFootball

Daniel Farke is likely to overhaul his Leeds United line-up for the Carabao Cup tie at the City Ground tonight, with seven changes and possible debuts for Nico Elvedi and Jayden Lienou.

According to Leedsunited.news, the draw has brought the sides together again only days after Anton Stach’s late winner, and both line-ups are expected to shift with Leeds hosting Brentford this weekend and Nottingham Forest heading to Anfield.

The prediction sticks to the three-five-two used against Forest on Saturday, reflecting the set-up that saw Harry Wilson push on and Brenden Aaronson operate off the striker. Wilson and Stach should be rested. James Trafford is likely to keep goal with no back-up yet in place, and Lukas Nmecha is almost certain to start ahead of Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Leeds will again be without Willy Gnonto and Gabi Gudmundsson as they recover from muscle injuries. Predicted XI, with seven changes: James Trafford in goal, Joe Rodon, Nico Elvedi and Tarik Muharemovic, Dan James, Ethan Ampadu, Ao Tanaka, Sean Longstaff and Jayden Lienou, Noah Okafor and Lukas Nmecha.

The assessment also highlights areas still needing attention before the window closes, notably a back-up goalkeeper, another full-back, possibly on the left, and an attacking option who can play up front and off the left.
