Jesse Marsch has a number of key decisions to make this weekend as he begins to piece together his starting line-up to face Aston Villa on Sunday at Elland Road. He’s had a long time to think about them since the Whites lost to Brentford at the start of September, but Marsch will be pondering changes in defence, midfield and attack.
The head coach will be glad for the selection headache, it’s a sign of the depth and talent he has at his disposal, but he’ll be having one or two difficult conversations over the coming days as the weekend nears. One of the biggest decisions Marsch must make comes at right-back with Rasmus Kristensen, Luke Ayling and Cody Drameh battling it out for the spot.
The trio will all be desperate to be involved against the Villans, but only one can feature in their natural position and it remains to be seen who’ll get the nod. Kristensen and Ayling are the senior options and it seems they are both ever so slightly ahead of Drameh in the pecking order right now.
