Time for the new boys or keep the faith? Choose your Leeds United starting XI for Forest trip

Leeds United are back down to minimal absentees ahead of a huge three-game run over the next week with only a pair of faces missing in action.

The Whites are without long-term absentee Adam Forshaw and the suspended Kalvin Phillips for their trip to Nottingham Forest this weekend in the Championship.

Marcelo Bielsa will therefore be able to call on virtually all of his resources at the City Ground though questions will linger on just whether he will make any significant changes to his side.

Patrick Bamford has come up short in all but one game so far in 2020, netting only in United's comeback win against Millwall at the end of January.

He has the faith of his manager however, who has refused to rush new boy Jean-Kevin Augustin into the thick of the action at his expense, despite the former Middlesbrough man's misfires.

Elsewhere, with a formation shift required to accommodate the absence of the talismanic Phillips, there could be further reshuffles in midfield, while Barry Douglas could force his way back into defence upon his return.

How would you approach this week's starting lineup? Pick your team below and share it.

We will bring you your most favoured XI before Saturday's match.
