Full Leeds United squad revealed for Manchester City trip as Bielsa's side has familiar look

Leeds United will still remain without six of their injured players for the trip to Manchester City this evening.

Kalvin Phillips, Liam Cooper, Patrick Bamford, Rodrigo Moreno, Robin Koch and Pascal Struijk are all set to be absent once again, which could provide another opportunity for some of the club’s youngsters.

Joe Gelhardt will be pushing for a start up front after netting his first senior goal for the Whites in the 3-2 defeat at Chelsea on Saturday.

The 19-year-old may dislodge one of Jack Harrison or Daniel James, with the latter having started up front at Stamford Bridge.

Mateusz Klich will also be hoping to make a return to the starting XI, although Tyler Roberts and Adam Forshaw’s recent performances make that unlikely.

Given Struijk and Cooper’s continued absence, Luke Ayling is likely to continue at centre back, with Jamie Shackleton at right back, although Charlie Cresswell will be pushing for a start.

On the bench, it is likely to be made up of almost entirely under-23s once again, with Cody Drameh, Stuart McKinstry, Crysencio Summerville, Liam McCarron, Jack Jenkins and Kristoffer Klaesson likely to make the squad.

Lewis Bate and Sam Greenwood will also be pushing for places on the bench after their omission at the weekend.

Full Leeds United squad: Illan Meslier, Luke Ayling, Junior Firpo, Adam Forshaw, Raphinha, Tyler Roberts, Kristoffer Klaesson, Diego Llorente, Stuart Dallas, Daniel James, Pascal Struijk, Jack Harrison, Joe Gelhardt, Charlie Cresswell, Cody Drameh, Stuart McKinstry, Crysencio Summerville, Mateusz Klich, Jamie Shackleton, Liam McCarron, Jack Jenkins.
