1. Aaron Ramsdale
Had very little to do on Monday evening against Aston Villa and made two fine saves when Wolverhampton Wanderers visited Bramall Lane seven days earlier. Is expected to grow into the role and will only do that by playing. Photo: Simon Bellis
2. Chris Basham
Scored the only goal of the game when these two sides last met and was excellent going forward when the opportunity presented itself at Villa Park, making a lung busting run to win the first-half penalty John Lundstram missed. Photo: Simon Bellis
3. Ethan Ampadu
With John Egan suspended, Phil Jagielka would appear the most obvious replacement for the Republic of Ireland international. But Leeds’ attack is quick and mobile, which means Ampadu gets my shout to fill the very big boots his team mate leaves behind. Photo: Simon Bellis
4. Jack O’Connell
Probably the best overlapping centre-half at United, although Chris Basham will disagree. His ability to get forward could lead to real possibilities against Leeds’ less than watertight defence but must brush up on his defensive displays. Photo: Darren Staples
