As expected. Still would have liked to see Under in for Albrighton and maybe Ricardo in though.

he was never in contention for this game.

Itd have been an injustice if Ricardo came in for either full back. He’ll make an appearance today I’m sure.

7/10 days out of training

Let's smack these dirty buggers

Big test, given our absences.

Chalobah? 

[Trelleh]

Gutted for wilf but on his day Papy is more than ideal cover until he’s back.

[RowlattsFox]

Could've started Under but not surprised. 

[foxinsocks]

I wish we'd started under over perez.  Under is a speed threat... that pushes  them back. Perez comes too deep.

Cmon bredan... get under in the starting line up

I think it'll be a much more difficult game than in November. 

 

They've got Phillips, Rodrigo and Raphinha back in their side. Good players and they definitely missed them in our win then. 

[KingsX]

Multiply this statistic by Sharkey’s work rate, and it’s not hard to see why Under can’t get into the XI.

 

 

... especially with Wilf out.

Under isn't a central striker. Never a chance that would happen. 

[Harry96]

Leeds side looks very attacking. Should be a good game 

[shailen]

Perez dropping deep and taking their back line all over the place could work wonders for us with Barnes, Albrighton, Maddison all looking to go the other way. Think that's the best team we could pick with the players available. 

[Countryfox]

I’m amazed anyone thought the team would be any different ...   playing so well it was a no brainer.   BR has praised Albrighton and Perez so they were never going to be dropped ...   and quite right too.

Yeah Leeds leave a lot of space 

this one would’ve been ideal for Vardy

Neither is Perez.   Unders speed would occupy the cbs

[adejo92]

I think its a team to be expected. Ünder for Albrighton would been nice to see but at the same time, would have been harsh on Albrighton.

 

Fuchs and Thomas both on the bench seems wasteful. Would have like to have seen a youth striker in there to challenge Nacho / Perez but there's likely logistics preventing that.

 

I'd like to see Albrighton rested against Fulham and then bought back in for Wolves who I think we'll benefit most from his work rate and defensive duties against.

 

Ünder would have tore these apart though..

[RowlattsFox]

Part of Under problem is that he's a better sub than Albrighton. Start Under and it doesn't go well we're limited even further from the bench.
