Leeds United will be hoping to build on their positive result last time out as they return to action on Friday for the final time before the international break.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side face Fulham off the back of a goalless draw with Chelsea. It was a good result for Leeds, but it also saw a concerning run continue for the Whites.

Remarkably, Leeds have not scored in any of their last three games. So they will be desperate to go into the break on a high while also extending the gap between themselves and the bottom three.

The good news is Bielsa has suggested that Patrick Bamford will be fit for the game after coming off against Chelsea (via Leeds Live).

Unfortunately however, Leeds are set to be without the likes of Liam Cooper and Rodrigo Moreno, according to Bielsa’s comments.

So that may limit the number of changes the Whites boss is tempted to make. Perhaps therefore, he may consider just one against Scott Parker’s side.

Stuart Dallas has been superb in midfield lately. But Fulham cause plenty of problems out wide. So it may be wise to move him back to left-back after Gjanni Alioski – who earns £15,000-a-week, according to Spotrac – struggled against Chelsea.

Dallas moving out of midfield may present an opportunity to Mateusz Klich to come back in.

Klich has not been at his best in the last few weeks. But on his day, he is certainly able to make a huge difference, especially if Tyler Roberts is able to replicate his last display on Friday.

With that in mind, here is the predicted lineup in full…
