Jesse Marsch’s side have played four games so far this summer, starting with a 4-0 victory at Blackpool as the sole friendly before the squad flew out to Australia.
In their three games Down Under, Leeds recorded a 2-1 victory against Brisbane Roar before falling to a 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa.
The Whites then shared a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace and Leeds will conclude their friendlies on Sunday evening when Serie B side Cagliari line up against Marsch’s Whites in a 6.45pm kick-off.
The Leeds boss has several injuries to contend with and one player suspended for the season opener at home to Wolves on Saturday, August 6.
Based on what we have seen in pre-season and the players available, this is how we think Leeds will line up.
7. CM - Marc Roca
Summer signing Roca immediately impressed within minutes of the first pre-season friendly against Blackpool and the Spaniard has continued to look combative and assured when used in Oz. Adam Forshaw, Mateusz Klich and younger bucks like Sam Greenwood, Archie Gray and Lewis Bate are other options to partner Adams in addition to Koch or Struijk but Roca already looks to be building a strong axis with the fellow new recruit.

8. RM - Brenden Aaronson
USA international attacking midfielder Aaronson was United's first signing of a busy summer and the 21-year-old has continually buzzed around looking lively in the no 10 role. However, winger Dan James is suspended for the season opener against Wolves whilst new wide man signing Luis Sinisterra came off with a hamstring injury in the friendly against Palace. As such, Aaronson might shift to a wide role in preparation for Wolves although youngster Crysencio Summerville is another option. Photo: Bradley Kanaris
9. LM - Jack Harrison
Harrison appears more important than ever to Leeds following the record sale of star winger Raphinha to Barcelona and is surely needed out wide as opposed to being deployed as a left back in times of need. Two from three out of Harrison, James and Sinisterra for the spots out wide with Summerville waiting in the wings is the likelihood when everyone is fit. Photo: James Worsfold
10. ACM - Rodrigo
Aaronson has looked promising in the no 10 role this summer but Marsch highlighted the importance of Rodrigo after his cool penalty in the draw against Palace and the record signing might well line up behind Patrick Bamford if Aaronson shifts out wide. Starting Joe Gelhardt is the other obvious call whilst Marsch has Greenwood, Klich and young Gray among other options, or James up tops. Photo: Chris Hyde
11. ST - Patrick Bamford
Leeds remain in the market for another striker option but Whites no 9 Bamford remains the standard setter and has thankfully built up a series of minutes this summer after last season's injury woes. Leeds and Bamford will be keeping everything crossed that it's now all systems go to become a regular back in the side although young class act Gelhardt already looks well worth letting off the leash in the front line too. At times, Bamford and Gelhardt perhaps? Photo: Bradley Kanaris
