Much-changed Leeds United lineup vs Harrogate Town predicted as Daniel Farke makes Illan Meslier call

Leeds United manager Daniel Farke is expected to ring the changes against Harrogate Town in the FA Cup Third Round this weekend.

Farke has already named two players who won’t play a part in the FA Cup this weekend as Illan Meslier and Joel Piroe are to be rested for differing reasons.

The Leeds manager acknowledged his No. 1 had been ‘poor’ against Hull City as United surrendered a 3-1 lead to eventually draw 3-3 with the struggling Tigers at the MKM Stadium last Saturday.

Piroe, on the other hand, is not going to be risked after battling with some muscular issues during this week’s training schedule.

Here is the XI we expect to start at Elland Road on Saturday evening.
