please log in to view this image Leeds United v Millwall Saturday 8th February@12:15 | Elland Rd Daniel Farke looks set to ring the changes on Saturday lunchtime, for the hotly anticipated FA Cup fourth round clash between Leeds Utd and Millwall. With a place in the final sixteen at stake, the Leeds gaffer will be keen to put on a performance, but not if it risks their promotion push. They currently lead the Championship, and are on course for 98 points, but are ever conscious that Burnley, Sheffield Utd and Sunderland are not far behind. He will almost certainly rest Manor Solomon, Joe Rodon, Dan James and Joel Piroe. Welsh International Rodon has played more minutes than any other Leeds player this season, including Illan Meslier, (closing in on 2900 minutes of game time in all competitions). Fit again Max Wober or Josuha Guilavogui could adopt defensive duties alongside Ethan Ampadu. Largie Ramazani, Wilfred Gnonto and Mateo Joseph are likely replacements for Manor Solomon, Dan James and Joel Piroe whilst Pascal Struijk (returning from injury), Joe Rothwell and Sam Byram should be be guaranteed a run out. Shot stopper Illan Meslier will be rested too, with Karl Darlow given a rare start between the sticks. Patrick Bamford is Leeds only forced absentee. The 31-year-old has only managed 213 minutes across all competitions this term and is without a goal. Millwall could welcome back Femi Azeez for the FA Cup tie at Leeds United. The winger hasn't been available since the previous round's win over Dagenham & Redbridge, when he limped off with an injury. Fellow winger Aidomo Emakhu is also nearing a return having not featured since Boxing Day.
Darlow Byram Rodon/Struijk (45 each) Wober Schmidt Guilavogui Ampadu Ramazani Joseph Aaronson Gnonto That would be my half expected lineup
I think we'll see changes but maybe not as many as some think. I also think we'll see a changed Millwall side. They're only a few points off the play offs so will want to focus on the league. I think it will be a game of B teams. Darlow Byram/Schmidt Rodon/Byram Ampadu Wober Gruev Rothwell Aaronsson Gnonto Ramazzani Joseph Byram could come in for Rodon but Farke has said that Aaronsson could play every day. Pascal has only had a few minutes so not sure he'll risk him. I hope he goes strong at the start then makes changes if we are winning comfortably. Because we're Leeds they'll probably do a Boro on us.
They went strong in last round against Dag & Red, only Mitchell and Mayor surprise starters. Still got Leeds, Sunderland, Sheff Utd and Burnley away so the playoffs only a dream! With a full week off they may as well have a go. Notice they haven't lost by more than 1 in any fixture since
Reckon he’ll rest Bogle/Rodon and Tanaka with Byram/Struijk and Rothwell replacing them (Ampadu right/Struijk left). Think he’ll start with Gnonto and Ramazani for James and Solomon. The other changes might be Joseph and Darlow possibly given some minutes.
Let's dick these then get an mid table PL side at home so to give us a glimpse of how far off we will be if we go up.
