Championship football takes centre stage again this weekend after the international break, with Leeds United looking to maintain their unbeaten start under Marcelo Bielsa.  

Leeds picked up 14 points from their opening six fixtures of the season, with Bielsa’s side heading into the international break in great form.

Now, Bielsa is preparing his side for another testing run of fixtures, as the Whites aim to establish themselves in the promotion race.

Bielsa’s side take on Millwall on Saturday, with Leeds looking to win at the New Den for only the third time in the last decade.

Leeds will be without a number of key players in London, with the Whites picking up a number of injuries over the last week.

Fringe players are set to be involved in London, with the likes of Tyler Roberts having a chance to impress.

Here at FLW, we take a look at the starting XI we are expecting to see Bielsa field…

Despite a week away on international duty, it is expected that Peacock-Farrell will retain his place in the side.

Ayling is a constant on the right for Leeds and he will continue.

Jansson will be drafted back into the starting XI in place of Gaetano Berardi, who is set for a spell out.

Cooper will sit alongside Jansson and captain the side.

Douglas completes Leeds’ back-four, with the Scot offering balance and a good attacking outlet.

Phillips will sit just ahead of Leeds’ defence, with his role under Bielsa absolutely key.

Harrison has big shoes to fill in Pablo Hernandez’s absence.

He did well against Middlesbrough, but needs to take his performance to the next level.

Klich has been away with Poland over the last week, but Leeds need him to brush aside any fatigue and produce a big performance.

Saiz will have benefitted from the international break and will be looking to get back to his best after a couple of quiet performances.

Alioski is another who has been away on international duty, but Bielsa is likely to keep the Macedonian in his starting XI.

With Bamford and Roofe both sitting this one out, it is down to Roberts to lead the line.

It will be the Welshman’s first league start and there is a lot of pressure on him to perform.
