Leeds United lineup predicted vs Preston North End as key man overcomes injury doubt amid bold Piroe call

Leeds United’s Predicted Lineup vs Preston North End
Leeds United manager Daniel Farke is expected to make one change to his starting lineup versus Preston North End this weekend. Willy Gnonto is likely to start in place of Dan James, who limped off with a hamstring problem against Middlesbrough on Tuesday night.

Gnonto’s Availability
Gnonto has struggled with an ankle issue lately, but was able to start against Luton Town last Saturday and came off the bench versus Middlesbrough in midweek. Farke tends to rotate his players mainly when injuries force his hand, so the other 10 starters from Tuesday night’s game are likely to remain in place.

Injuries
Two players who will not feature at Elland Road this weekend are Joe Rothwell (calf) and Pascal Struijk (foot). Rothwell is out for the next three games, while the result of a scan on Struijk’s injured foot will determine whether his season is over or not.

Predicted Lineup
Here is the predicted lineup for Leeds United vs Preston North End:

Starting XI

1. Illan Meslier
2. Luke Ayling
3. Joe Rodon
4. Pascal Struijk (ruled out)
5. Junior Firpo
6. Tyler Adams
7. Brenden Aaronson
8. Wilfried Gnonto
9. Crysencio Summerville
10. Patrick Bamford
11. Daniel James (hamstring injury)

Conclusion
Leeds United’s predicted lineup for the match against Preston North End is expected to feature Willy Gnonto in place of Dan James. The team will be without Joe Rothwell and Pascal Struijk due to injuries.
