Leeds United predicted line-up vs Villarreal with new faces, debut and player's Elland Road return

Leeds United take on Villarreal at Elland Road on Saturday in the club’s penultimate pre-season friendly - and this is how we think the Whites will line up.

The fixture will mark just a second Leeds friendly of the summer in front of fans and a first on home soil upon the team’s return from their Germany training camp.

Daniel Farke’s Whites began their pre-season friendlies with a goalless draw against Manchester United in Stockholm before flying out to Germany where they took in two behind-closed-doors games.

Both of them produced Leeds victories, Farke’s side recording a 4-1 victory against third tier hosts SC Verl and then a 3-2 success against second tier hosts SC Paderborn last Saturday afternoon.

One week later, the Whites will be back in front of their own fans with a hard test against a Villarreal side who finished last season’s La Liga campaign in fifth place - qualifying for the Champions League.

The game falls just two weeks before the start of the season itself and the contest is the penultimate friendly, one week before Farke’s Whites take on AC Milan in Dublin.

For many, Saturday afternoon’s 3pm kick-off will be their only glimpse of the Whites this summer and this is the new look team that we think will line up.
