Head coach Jesse Marsch made one change to his side for Sunday’s hosting of league leaders Arsenal as Luis Sinisterra returned from suspension and replaced Patrick Bamford who dropped to the bench.
That meant another reshuffle as Rodrigo moved upfront but Bamford then Rodrigo at the half-time interval and Leeds then created a host of excellent chances which were all squandered against the Gunners.
Marsch then revealed a new injury blow at Wednesday’s pre-match press conference as the head coach announced that Pascal Struijk had picked up a small injury and would miss Thursday evening’s clash at the King Power.
Leeds have gone six games without a win and this is how we think they will line up for the 8.15pm kick-off against the Foxes.
7. CM - Marc Roca
Adams' partner-in-crime and another impressive arrival from the summer. Mateusz Klich is the other chief option at present given that the Pole can play anywhere in centre midfield. Photo: George Wood
8. RW - Luis Sinisterra
The Colombian winger made an impressive return to the side after suspension against the Gunners, just missing an end product but that went for the entire front line. Photo: George Wood
9. LW - Jack Harrison
The England hopeful started in the no 10 role against Arsenal but Harrison has regularly been deployed on the left flank and that looks the likely scenario against Leicester, at least to start with. Marsch can always shift things about if needed and desired. Photo: Michael Regan
10. ACM - Brenden Aaronson
What a signing he has been and the only decision needed with the energetic USA international attacking star is whether to start him out wide or in the no 10 role. The latter looks the most likely option but Marsch swapped Aaronson and Harrison against Arsenal before reverting to type at the duo's suggestion for the second half so that could be an option again.

11. ST - Patrick Bamford
Cometh the hour, cometh the man, hopefully, and this feels like a huge opportunity for Bamford and a potential catalyst as Marsch called it. The Whites boss might opt to start Rodrigo up tops again and bring Bamford on later but Leeds were so much better with Bamford upfront against Arsenal and the Whites no 9 will surely start assuming fitness levels allow against the Foxes. Quite simply, just has to take his chances and should get a few against Leicester. Photo: Eddie Keogh
