Jesse Marsch says he's yet to decide on who'll lead the line for Leeds United in their FA Cup third round replay against Cardiff City. Patrick Bamford scored for the Whites against Aston Villa to end his goal scoring drought, but it was his strike partner Rodrigo who put in one of the best striker performances Marsch has ever seen.
The Leeds head coach said all that was missing from the Spaniard's performance was a goal at Villa Park. Rodrigo has been the standout performer at Elland Road this season, topping the goal scoring charts for Marsch's side.
However, with Bamford now back fully fit, Marsch has a decision to make over who will start against Cardiff City tomorrow night. Neither player started the first encounter between the two sides at Cardiff earlier this month, but it was Rodrigo who got Leeds back on track at the Cardiff City Stadium.

Marsch said: "Patrick has been feeling good. We've had to be measured with him not to push him too much.
"I was very happy for him to get a goal and I told you guys last week, he seems to be, mentally, in a really good place and physically in a really good place. Whether he starts tomorrow or not, we'll wait and see.
"We have to address a lot of guys physically today. Rodri came out of the match - I thought Rodri was fantastic against Villa, fantastic in every phase of the match. One of the best performances I've ever had from a striker, especially considering he wasn't able to get the goal, but what a strong performance.
"He's obviously in great form so, we'll be looking to turn him around and get him ready for this match. Then we'll see how Patrick fits in."
