Leeds United are potentially just 90 minutes away from a Championship play-off final when they host Derby County in the second-leg this evening.
But with Kemar Roofe, Tyler Roverts Adam Forshaw ruled out and Pontus Jansson touch and go, it could be a somewhat depleted Whites starting XI. Who could start tonight? Click and scroll through the pages to find out:

With Gaetano Berardi occupied in more of a central defensive role at present, Ayling is technically Leeds' only fully fit right-back. However, we sense he would have started anyway.
If Pontus Jansson is passed fit and Bielsa decides to start him, we suspect Berardi would be moved out of the central defensive role.
It's unlikely Bielsa will drop his captain for such a big game. That said, we already know the Argentine is full of bold calls.
