Hard to judge whether to break a winning formula so set up same way as long as the results come in, or adapt to the opposition. I'd hope we were imperious enough to impose our will with our own form of play, but accept that may be a gamble.

As we saw against Fulham, Jake and Sawyers won’t control the middle against their three and the extra body will be needed.
Think I’d also go with HRK or Zohore as they get us up the pitch better than Austin does.
HRK
Edwards
Krov
Phillips
Sawyers
Livermore
Ferguson
Ajayi
Bartley
Furlong
Johnstone
Bond, OShea, Gibbs, Periera, Diangana, Austin, Zohore
Although Krovanvic is a good player, and looks very tidy, we're a better team when he doesn't start. I wouldn't touch our midfield, save for Philips dropping to the bench in place of the impressive Edwards.
Leeds a very different animal to Huddersfield and QPR though.
We were a far better side against Fulham with Krov than without him, when we were completely overrun in the middle.
Johnstone
Furlong Ajayi Barts Ferguson
Livermore Sawyers
Phillip's Perreira Diangana
Zahore
Bond, Gibbs, Brunt, Krov, Edwards, HRK, Austin
HRK best game for us was when he came in from the cold last season to face Leeds at home. Fantastic that day, great movement and hold up play. They couldn’t handle his little flicks and tricks on a night where they seemed to keep coming off. Well, I think it was Leeds until one of you corrects me. He should really have got off the mark Saturday and all the goals recently in the reserves and behind closed door games must see him pushing for a start.

Leeds have the best defense in the league, to score we must break quickly and be solid at the back.
COYB
Feel Leeds are creaking under their own pressure a bit.
Could be a good time to play them.

That's how if go, but I'd swap HRK for Zohore.
Any idea when Hegazi will be back?
Same here
Looking on a Leeds forum this morning, some disillusionment about inability to break down teams who defend in depth. Some concerns that perhaps the team is not as good as many think- maybe a top class manager with too many mediocre players. We will see. They all lamented the absence of Hernandez on Saturday and hope he is fit for our game.

Hernandez being injured would be a huge boost for us, he makes them tick and is the one player who can open up tight defences.
I’d take a point now if offered, but I’m confident if we bring our A-game we can win Tuesday. We just can’t afford any silliness, and have to be patient when we have long spells without possession.
