On Saturday afternoon, Leeds United suffered their first league loss of the year against Coventry City.
Jon Newsome, a former Leeds United player, anticipates that Daniel Farke will alter his starting lineup several times on Tuesday. The Whites’ 15-game winning streak came to an end on Saturday at the CBS Arena when they lost 2-1 to Coventry City.
With five games left, the pressure is beginning to mount at Elland Road as a result of the Whites’ performance, which caused them to lose their automatic promotion spots in the Championship. It appears that Farke won’t be far from his thoughts regarding rotation when Sunderland makes their way to West Yorkshire on Tuesday evening, giving Leeds the chance to get back on track following a lackluster performance against the Sky Blues.
Archie Gray, who played in central midfield on Saturday for the majority of the game after switching from right-back to that position, could be substituted, according to Newsome. That would free up Connor Roberts to replace him at full back once he’s fully recovered.
The commentator thinks that since Patrick Bamford is drawing blanks again, a change at the front might be in order. Joel Piroe came off the bench to score Leeds’ lone goal of the match, but Newsome believes that Tuesday would be the ideal opportunity to give Mateo Joseph his league debut given his strong performances as a substitute.
“I believe there could be several alterations on Tuesday evening,” Newsome informed the BBC, going on to say, “I believe that might be one of them,” referring to Roberts and Gray.
“It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if Patrick started Joseph from the bench. He is compensated for his role as manager.
Both Saturday’s scheduled match against Blackburn Rovers and the match against Sunderland appear to be huge matches, as Leeds knows that only six points will do in the current promotion chase.
