Leeds United Boss Daniel Farke Rings Changes for Millwall Clash
Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has named his starting XI for Wednesday’s Championship encounter against Millwall, making just one alteration from the side that thrashed Plymouth Argyle 3-0 at the weekend.
Joel Piroe retains his place up front, having scored his fifth goal of the season against Plymouth, keeping Patrick Bamford and Mateo Joseph on the bench. Joe Rothwell and Ao Tanaka continue as the only fit central midfielders, alongside new signing Josuha Guilavogui.
Dan James and Wilfried Gnonto start on the flanks, despite Israel skipper Manor Solomon’s return to fitness. The sole change comes in defense, where Jayden Bogle replaces Sam Byram, who filled in admirably against Bristol City.
Farke’s decision to drop Byram, described as a “key player” just last week, may raise eyebrows. Byram impressed in his previous outing, winning every duel against Bristol City. However, Bogle’s return to the starting lineup reverts Farke’s back four to its familiar configuration.
