Leeds United Predicted Lineup vs Nottingham Forest
How Leeds United Have Lined-up Recently
Leeds United have a relatively consistent lineup. The club plays in a 4-2-3-1, with Illan Meslier in goal protected by centre-backs Max Wober and Robin Koch. Pascal Struijk plays at left-back with Luke Ayling on the right. Tyler Adams and Marc Roca play in front of the back line.
The line of three in front of two sitting midfielders includes Brenden Aaronson on the right, with Jack Harrison and Wilfried Gnonto rotating between the centre and the left. Rodrigo typically plays as a centre-forward, but is currently struggling with an injury.

Leeds United Attacking Selection Issues
Jesse Marsch currently has an issue within his squad, being a significant amount of attacking depth. Admittedly a nice problem to have, but there are more players than there is space in the squad. Wilfried Gnonto has staked a claim to a spot in the side in past weeks, with Jack Harrison and Brenden Aaronson also near-permanent fixtures in the side.
However, Luis Sinisterra is patiently waiting in the wings to seize a position in the lineup. Rodrigo’s injury could be a blessing for Patrick Bamford, but Georginio Rutter is also waiting in the wings. Picking the right Leeds United lineup is getting more and more difficult with the growth in depth.
