Predicted Leeds United line-up v Swansea City as men return with tight call on defender and fresh no 10 decision

Whites boss Daniel Farke named an unchanged side for his team’s final game before the March international break at Queens Park Rangers in which his men recovered from falling 2-0 behind to take a 2-2 draw. Unlike for previous away games, Joe Rothwell kept his place alongside Ao Tanaka in centre midfield as the more defensive option Ilia Gruev stayed on the bench.

Farke also kept the faith with Brenden Aaronson in the no 10 position but Aaronson was hauled off at half-time after a disappointing display and replaced by Willy Gnonto who excelled in the second half. Gnonto, though, then suffered an ankle injury representing Italy’s under-21s during the international break and the attacker is facing a late fitness check ahead of Saturday afternoon’s visit of the Swans.

First choice left back Junior Firpo is also facing a tight call and a race against time as the last man back from international duty representing the Dominican Republic. Farke revealed at Thursday’s pre-match press conference that Firpo was arriving back later that afternoon and would be assessed.

Farke also revealed a major triple team news boost with club captain Ethan Ampadu, Patrick Bamford and Max Wober all back in training. There’s plenty for the Whites boss to consider – and this is the XI that we think he will send out against the Swans.
