Are you expecting any of the new/returning guys to start

I think Ayling might but it’s always hard to tell with MC. But it’ll be interesting to see the bench today let alone the starting 11.
 
Ayling if we go 4-2-3-1. If we keep the 3 CBs can see him being on the bench.

Would expect Azaz to start, no reason why he shouldn't?
 
Normally no, but we don't really have a choice at RB and if Coburn is out Azaz probably needs to play LW with Greenwood up front, so yes.
 
I think it might be VDB at right back with Clarke and Fry at CB. Coburn up front, Azaz and Ayling on the bench.
 
Not new guys. MC seems to prefer a couple of weeks training plus a couple of subs first for new players in the group. My guess is to get them used to being in the new group. Happened with a fit Archer and a partly fit Ramsey. Both had to have training first plus a couple of bench apps. Ayling not played a full game since 4th Oct. Also not even been on the Leeds bench last 10 games.

I think that's probably right although Carrick frequently surprises us.

If Greenwood and Rogers had played on Tuesday, he might have rested one of them, but no real need to and I'd expect Jones to start for his pace.
 
Apparently Coburn is at home resting, which is fair. I definitely think Ayling and Azaz will start today. Clarke needs to be managed and rested.
 
As has been said, normally you would expect a little bedding in. Not sure we have that luxury with our injuries, so probably ayling will start, not sure about Azaz.
 
Rogers will be back I would think.

It'll be interesting to see if we change formation back to four at the back?
 
Coburn wasnt expected to play on Tuesday so can see him being carefully managed over the next couple of weeks. Not sure about Greenwood as a centre forward, maybe the false nine type role we tried with Silvera against West Brom etc…
