Fulham vs Leeds United match preview

After two shambolic home defeats, can Leeds United get back on track?

On Monday night, the Whites were demolished 6-1 by Liverpool at Elland Road, having shipped five when Crystal Palace visited West Yorkshire eight days earlier.

This is the first time in Leeds’ 103 year history they’ve conceded 5+ in back-to-back home matches.

Before this, Javi Gracia had actually won three of his first six matches in charge, but the Spaniard, who’s only contracted until the end of the season anyway, is now under serious pressure.

Leeds kick off in 16th place, a mere two points clear of danger, and face relegation rivals Leicester on Tuesday, before visiting Bournemouth next Sunday.

So, this certainly could be a season-defining week.

Harrison Reed, Harry Wilson and Dan James all on target at Goodison, as Marco Silva’s side won for the first time since 18 February.

This lifted the Cottagers up to tenth, determined to finish above West London rivals Chelsea for the first time since 1983, when both were in the second division.

Fulham have already beaten Leeds twice this season, 3-2 at Elland Road and 2-0 in the FA Cup, but have never won three successive head-to-head meetings.

This statistics could be set to change at Craven Cottage.

Marco Silva will be back on the touchline, having served his two-match ban, but this’ll be only the fourth of Aleksandar Mitrović eight-game suspension.

In his absence, Dan James got the nod up front at Goodison, chosen over Carlos Vinícius, but James cannot feature here as Leeds are his parent club.

Likewise, Harry Wilson came in for Bobby Decordova-Reid on the right wing and, having scored, is set to keep his place.

Predicted XI: (4-2-3-1): Leno; Tete, Adarabioyo, Ream, Robinson; Palhinha, Reed, Wilson, Pereira, Willian; Vinícius

Leeds United team news

In contrast, after a dismal display, expect Javi Gracia to ring the changes.

Fit again Maximilian Wöber and Wilfried Gnonto were back on the bench against Liverpool, so both could be in the XI this time.

Patrick Bamford has picked up another injury, meaning Rodrigo will lead the line.

With Tyler Adams set to miss the rest of the season, Weston McKennie’s midfield partner will continue to be Marc Roca.

Predicted XI (4-3-3): Meslier; Ayling, Koch, Wöber, Firpo; McKennie, Roca, Aaronson; Sinisterra, Gnonto, Rodrigo.
