Predicted Leeds United line-up vs Tottenham Hotspur with Jaka Bijol and Jack Harrison calls amid absentees

Leeds United’s predicted line-up versus Tottenham Hotspur.

Leeds United face Tottenham Hotspur at Elland Road in their final game before the October international break - and this is how we think the Whites will line-up.

Whites boss Daniel Farke is without three likely starters in wingers Dan James and Willy Gnonto plus keeper Lucas Perri, all of whom are on the comeback trail from injuries.

Gnonto and Perri were also out for last weekend’s hosting of Bournemouth for which James returned from core muscle issues to make the bench.

The winger was an unused substitute in the 2-2 draw but then rolled his ankle in training this week.

With James and Gnonto not playing, Noak Okafor and Brenden Aaronson started out wide, Okafor eventually replaced by Jack Harrison who impressed from the bench after coming on in the 67th minute.

Leeds looked set to record a 2-1 victory against the Cherries but conceded another goal from a set piece in the 93rd minute as Eli Kroupi’s close-range finish gave the Cherries a 2-2 draw.

Towering summer signing centre-back Jaka Bijol was an unused substitute against the Cherries but the Slovenian is an obvious option if Farke wants to change his defence.

Even with three men out, there are some big calls to make and this is the XI that we think Farke will send out against Thomas Frank’s side.
