Jesse Marsch will be forced to check on the fitness of a handful of players this weekend as Leeds United face Liverpool at Anfield. The head coach revealed at his press conference on Thursday afternoon that five players have picked up issues in the week and therefore changes could be made.
Rodrigo and Joe Gelhardt are amongst those with issues and their absences would leave Marsch with a rather simple choice to make when it comes to selecting who will lead the line. Patrick Bamford may be out of sorts when it comes to his form in front of goal, but there’s a chance he could lead the line as Leeds look to end their eight-game winless run.
Bamford has started just four games this season and despite one or two promising performances, he hasn’t managed to find the back of the net. As such, after starting last week against Leicester City, he dropped to the bench last time out against Fulham.
