Abysmal’ – Leeds United fans on three burning Whites questions, player must and Oxford United predictions
Leeds United are massive favourites to beat Saturday’s Championship visitors Oxford United at Elland Road – but what do the club’s fans think? Here is what our YEP Jury have had to say including thoughts on three burning Whites questions and a player’s must against the U’s.
NEIL GREWER
Once again Leeds seek a home victory following a disappointing away performance last weekend.
All stats and recent form point to a ‘standard’, easy victory but football has a habit of throwing surprises when least expected and often following a managerial change as Oxford have encountered. So, most likely a comfortable win for the Whites but with the possibility of a shock if Leeds are not on their game.
Burning questions amongst the Leeds faithful remain – should Brenden Aaronson remain at No 10, who should play at 9, and when will Ethan Ampadu start following return from injury?
I would not be surprised to see Ampadu start on Saturday with Aaronson making way and Joe Rothwell playing further forward. In the centre-forward position, Mateo Joseph stakes a claim having been involved in recent goals and generally being a nuisance.
Perhaps Joel Piroe is more effective as a substitute when defences are tiring? Illan Meslier, meanwhile, has suffered criticism recently for some goal concessions and tomorrow will present an opportunity for another clean sheet – one which must be taken.
Prediction: Leeds United 3 Oxford United 0.
