Leeds United will face top-of-the-table Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Friday (3 November).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahead of the Whites’ biggest challenge of the season, Football Insider<\/strong> has predicted Daniel Farke’s starting line-up to take on the Foxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Farke may opt for an unchanged backline against Leicester. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Leeds\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Illan Meslier has started all the Whites’ Championship clashes this season keeping five clean sheets, while full-backs Sam Byram and Jamie Shackleton impressed in Leeds’ 4-1 victory over Huddersfield. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Captain Pascal Struijk is likely to start and despite fitness concerns over Joe Rodon, he is a possibility for the starting XI as Farke will want a full-strength backline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Midfield<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite Glen Kamara’s good form this season, Archie Gray’s excellence in midfield could see him return to the line-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Farke deployed the 17-year-old at right-back to little success in recent fixtures, meaning he is a viable option for the midfield. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gray is likely to partner Welshman Ethan Ampadu, who according to FBRef<\/a>, has made the most tackles in the Leeds squad this season (32).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attack<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Farke confirmed<\/a> that Crysencio Summerville took part in training ahead of this clash, but admitted he is still a concern, suggesting the German may reintroduce Willy Gnonto back into the starting XI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daniel James’ brace against the Terriers should be enough to keep him in the starting line-up after being dropped for the 1-0 Stoke defeat, but Farke’s trusted strike partnership of Georginio Rutter and Joel Piroe will probably keep their spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
