Bielsa has openly discussed his Leeds United starting XI already

Bielsa also revealed left-back Barry Douglas is out with a muscular injury, but downplayed the severity of the issue.“Im going to tell you my idea for this game,” Bielsa stated openly. “Peacock-Farrell will start. Shackleton will play as right-back. Hes an important player. Halme will play because Jansson will train normally from Monday.“Ayling will play too because he needs to play, because Phillips is suspended. Cooper will play with the Under-23s on Monday. Davis will play too.“Because Douglas is injured and its a player who is going to be missing for a while. Its a muscular injury. Not that serious because he could finish the game against Nottingham. He didnt come out of the game because he was injured.2

Barry Douglas will not feature for the Whites

“Adam Forshaw will play as No 4, Baker as an 8. Klich has played 36 games, he played all the games we have had and all the international games. I dont think there is someone in the Championship who has played more than him. I think for him to rest is an obligation.“For Pablo its also an obligation to rest. Tyler Roberts will play. And for the three offensive players, Harrison will play as No 9, Clarke on the right and Alioski on the left.“As Patrick Bamford is not present Im interested in seeing Harrison as a No 9. In the time he played in this position he scored a goal. The fact that he scored a goal doesnt mean anything but its a possibility we would like to develop.“Its also convenient for Kemar Roofe not to play this game. This is the scenario. I have many hopes for this starting XI. Weve been working with these players, Halme, Shackleton and Davis for many weeks and its a good moment for them to start this game.” The legendary boss was clearly keen to show his respect for the FA Cup, explaining his decision to make so many changes from his last starting XI.“I wanted to give it today because the general opinion of my decisions is important to me,” he added.“I wanted to explain case by case I did not disrespect the competition because the destinataries[sic] of the competitions are the fans and they have a link with the shirt and we cant betray them.”Expected XI:Bailey Peacock-Farrell; Jamie Shackleton, Luke Ayling, Aapo Halme, Leif Davis; Adam Forshaw; Jack Clarke, Lewis Baker, Tyler Roberts, Ezgjan Alioski; Jack Harrison.
