Stach And Nmecha To Start | 4-3-3 Leeds United Predicted Lineup Vs Nottingham Forest | OneFootball

Leeds United will face off against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Sunday as they try to grind out a good result on the road in the Premier League. The Whites suffered a disappointing 3-0 loss away at Brighton and Hove Albion recently, so this game would be a good chance for them to get back to winning ways this weekend.

Daniel Farke will set his players up in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make a couple of changes to his first team for this game. Anton Stach and Lukas Nmecha could both play from the start of this contest.

Defence

Lucas Perri will play in between the sticks for Leeds United after conceding three goals in his last appearance. Joe Rodon will operate alongside Jaka Bijol at the heart of Farke’s defence as they look to maintain a solid shape on the defensive end of the pitch.

Jayden Bogle will try to prove his worth as the right-back, while Gabriel Gudmundsson hopes to catch the eye on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will have to perform their defensive duties well before trying to offer some support to the front players.

James Justin and Pascal Struijk will provide cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Midfield

Farke could opt for a midfield three of Anton Stach, Ethan Ampadu and Sean Longstaff as they focus on making life difficult for the opposition at the centre of the park. All three of them need to retain possession well if the Whites are to stand a chance of securing a win this weekend.

Ao Tanaka will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the second half if required.

Attack

Noah Okafor could get the nod to make a difference as the left-winger, while Brenden Aaronson looks to impress as the right-sided wide player. Both of them will look to get in behind the opponent’s backline at every chance they get.

Lukas Nmecha will probably get a chance to lead the line for the Yorkshire outfit up top. However, Dominic Calvert-Lewin is a doubt for this game due to a muscle injury.
