Predicted Leeds United XI v Watford | OneFootball

Leeds United will travel to Vicarage Road to face Watford in the Championship on Tuesday night, and the Whites will look to maintain their impressive league form.

The Whites suffered a 2-0 defeat against Millwall on Sunday in the FA Cup, but their top priority this season is to secure an automatic promotion.

Daniel Farke made a host of changes to the side in the previous game, and he gave rest to most of his key players. He is likely to make nine changes from the side that lost against Millwall.

Leeds are at the top of the Championship table with 66 points, two points ahead of Sheffield United. Burnley are third in the table with 61 points.

The Whites are undefeated in their last 13 games in the Championship, and should be able to pick up a comfortable win against Watford who have picked up just one win in their last ten games in all competitions.

In goal, Illan Meslier is set to return in place of Karl Darlow. The Frenchman has been the first-choice keeper for Leeds, and his position in the side is guaranteed.

Pascal Struijk is set to keep his place in the side, and Joe Rodon will come in, which means Ethan Ampadu will move in midfield.

Junior Firpo and Jayden Bogle also return to the side for the left and right back roles.

In midfield, Farke needs to make a decision between Ao Tanaka and Ilia Gruev, if Ampadu drops in midfield. Tanaka is most likely to start, with Joe Rothwell dropping to the bench.

Wilfried Gnonto, 21, started in the previous game, but he will have to make way for other in-form players. Manor Solomon, Brenden Aaronson and Dan James are in cracking form at the moment, and all three should return to the starting line-up.

Joel Piroe is also set to return in place of Mateo Joseph.
