The international break is drawing to a close and Leeds United are set to return to Championship action this weekend.

The Whites went into the break in high spirits having defeated Hull City 2-0 at Elland Road, so they’ll be eager to continue that momentum against Burnley on Saturday.

Ahead of the clash, TBR Football has now predicted Leeds’ starting 11.

Leeds team news vs Burnley

Leeds are facing their toughest opponent of the season as many expect Burnley to be challenging for the Championship title, despite a difficult summer window.

The visiting Clarets head into the clash in sixth, just a point adrift of Farke’s men, so both teams have made pretty similar starts.

On the injury front, Leeds centre-back Max Wober, who is yet to feature in the league this season, could miss out after picking up a knock with Austria.

Aside from Wober, Farke has a fully fit squad to choose from, so he’ll just have to assess fatigue levels in players returning from international duty.

Leeds predicted XI vs Burnley

TBR Football predicts two changes to the 11 that beat Hull before the break.

Junior Firpo drops out for Sam Byram whilst Largie Ramazani makes his full debut in place of Manor Solomon.

Firpo represented the Dominican Republic this week and is due to fly back from Bermuda, which is a long-haul flight.

So, Farke may opt for the fresh legs of Byram, meanwhile, for a similar reason, Solomon could drop to the bench.

The Tottenham loanee, who started two games for Israel during the break, needs his minutes managed after coming back from a long-term injury.

Leeds predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Meslier; Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Byram; Gruev, Ampadu; Ramazani, Aaronson, Gnonto, Joseph.
