LEEDS UNITED PREDICTED XI VS MILLWALL: Daniel Farke to take BOLD step to drop world-class player amid action that FA might take to confirm Daniel Farke BIAS

LEEDS UNITED PREDICTED XI VS MILLWALL: JAYDEN BOGLE DECISION MADE AMID SUSPENSION RISK

Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has confirmed that Jayden Bogle will not be rotated out of the starting lineup for the upcoming match against Millwall, despite the right-back being one yellow card away from a two-game suspension.

Bogle has accumulated nine Championship yellow cards this season, and with the cutoff point for ten bookings being matchday 37, there was a risk that he could miss two crucial games if he were to receive another yellow card. However, Farke has opted to keep Bogle in the starting lineup, citing his importance to the team’s attacking play.

“No, not due to suspension risk,” Farke said when asked about the possibility of dropping Bogle. “I have hope he can come through without a yellow card. We need his drive going forward.”

As a result, the back five is likely to remain unchanged, with Pascal Struijk and Joe Rodon continuing to partner each other in central defense, and Illan Meslier retaining his place in goal. Junior Firpo, who went close to scoring twice against Portsmouth on Sunday, is also expected to keep his place at left-back.

In midfield, Ao Tanaka is set to start alongside Joe Rothwell, who will replace Ilia Gruev. Tanaka did not have his best game against Portsmouth, but Farke has expressed his faith in the Japanese midfielder.

Brenden Aaronson is likely to start again in the number 10 role, despite there being no direct alternative. Manor Solomon and Daniel James are expected to continue on the wings, given their impressive form in recent games.

Joel Piroe, who missed several chances against Portsmouth, is set to start again up front, with Farke highlighting his previous good work.

Predicted Leeds United XI: Meslier; Bogle, Struijk, Rodon, Firpo; Tanaka, Rothwell; James, Aaronson, Solomon; Piroe

This predicted lineup suggests that Farke is opting for a consistent and familiar starting lineup, despite the risk of Bogle receiving a yellow card. The team will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing defeat to Portsmouth on Sunday and secure a crucial three points against Millwall.
