Leeds United team news vs Crystal Palace as Daniel Farke grants Lukas Nmecha wish | OneFootball

Daniel Farke has confirmed his Leeds United line-up to face Crystal Palace, pairing Lukas Nmecha with Dominic Calvert-Lewin up front for the first time since December. There is also a reshuffle at the back.

According to Leeds Live, Calvert-Lewin had been a minor doubt with a knee issue but is fit to start, while Nmecha netted in his last Premier League start away at Chelsea.

Jayden Bogle drops out and Jaka Bijol comes in, which sees James Justin move to the right. Bijol impressed against the Canaries, yet has not started a league match since conceding a cheap penalty in February’s 2-2 draw at Chelsea.

Joe Rodon and Pascal Struijk line up either side of Bijol in front of goalkeeper Karl Darlow once more, with Gabriel Gudmundsson on the left after producing a Leeds United goal and assist this season against Norwich City last weekend.

Ethan Ampadu skippers the side with Anton Stach and Brenden Aaronson either side of him. Noah Okafor is the only injured absentee, while January loanee Facundo Buonanotte again misses out amid poor form.

Starting XI: Darlow, Rodon, Bijol, Struijk, Justin, Stach, Ampadu, Aaronson, Gudmundsson, Calvert-Lewin, Nmecha. Subs: Perri, Bogle, Bornauw, Longstaff, Gruev, Tanaka, James, Gnonto, Piroe.
