Leeds United are set to conclude their pre-season calendar with a clash against Serie B side Cagliari at Elland Road. Jesse Marsch has handed minutes out to several members of his squad across the four friendlies so far, which has conjured up wins against Blackpool and Brisbane Roar, a draw with Crystal Palace and a defeat to Aston Villa.
While pre-season is all about getting minutes into the legs of every player, Sunday’s tie with Cagliari should be used by Marsch to select the side that will line up six days later in the Premier League opener with Wolves.
With the influx of new players into the squad, there has not yet been enough time for established relationships to be built on the pitch and Sunday, therefore, is the final chance to do so without the pressure of a league match.
