Leeds Utd v Millwall (4th Round of the FA Cup)
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.
