How do you go about predicting the line-up of a head coach going into his first match, with no friendlies to watch, no meaningful clues in his press conference and a raft of tactical set-ups in his previous jobs, none of which use the wingers he has an abundance of?
This could well be the furthest off-the-mark predicted XI there will ever be under Jesse Marsch at Leeds United. From today we will at least have an idea of what shape he’s looking at.
At RB Leipzig, where it never really went well for Marsch, there were 3-4-3s, 4-4-2 diamonds and a few 4-2-3-1s.
