Leeds United are hard at work in Australia as they continue to prepare for the start of the new Premier League season. The Whites are currently in Perth and on Friday morning they will take on Crystal Palace in their final outing before heading back to West Yorkshire.
Palace have brought a young team to Western Australia, but the game still promises to be a challenge for the Whites as Jesse Marsch’s side ready themselves for the campaign ahead. Here, Leeds Live attempt to predict how the head coach will set his side up at the Optus Stadium.
Illan Meslier made his first appearance of pre-season on Sunday against Aston Villa at the Suncorp Stadium and it seems he is likely to start once more as Marsch looks to get some more match action into his first-choice keeper. Rasmus Kristensen is the obvious man to start at right-back, particularly given the small hamstring issue Cody Drameh is carrying at the minute.
