Jesse Marsch has decisions to make as Leeds United approach their biggest game of the season so far against Nottingham Forest at Elland Road. The Whites’ defensive performance left much to be desired as they shipped five goals during Saturday’s clash at Brentford and Marsch will be determined to see his side make the necessary improvements to halt their three-game winless run.
Fortunately, with a number of players returning from injury, the head coach does have the option to make changes right across his backline on Monday night. The most likely change will be at right-back next week as Luke Ayling and Rasmus Kristensen battle with Cody Drameh for a place in the side.
Drameh produced a promising performance last time out at the Gtech Community Stadium, but Marsch could look to bring a more senior man back into the fold against Forest. Changes could come at centre-back, too, with Diego Llorente’s place in the side looking uncertain following his difficult afternoon in west London.
