Leeds United team news vs Luton Town as Daniel Farke overlooks good form for rotation

Leeds United’s team has been confirmed for the Luton Town clash and Daniel Farke has made one change to the team which beat Swansea City. Despite setting up three goals in Wales, Daniel James is dropped to make way for Wilfried Gnonto’s return.

The Wales international was in scintillating form on Sunday, along with Manor Solomon, who notched a brace. However, the manager has one eye on this busy week and James’s workload since coming back from injury.

The Italian should start on the right flank, while Brenden Aaronson continues through the centre despite a slight drop in his recent form. Largie Ramazani continues on the bench and will hope for his first batch of minutes since injury.

Joe Rodon and Gnonto have picked up four yellow cards this season. They start today and will have to walk the suspension tightrope from the start of the match. The selection means Rodon is the only player still on for starting every match in all competitions this season for Leeds.

As ever, Alex Cairns is with the squad, but remains off the teamsheet. Tonight’s referee against the Hatters is Sam Allison, assisted by Andrew Fox, Darren Williams and Tom Reeves (fourth official).

Daiki Hashioka, a former transfer target for United, is on the bench for the visitors.

Leeds United: Illan Meslier; Jayden Bogle, Joe Rodon, Pascal Struijk, Sam Byram; Ao Tanaka, Joe Rothwell; Wilfried Gnonto, Brenden Aaronson, Manor Solomon; Joel Piroe.

Substitutes: Karl Darlow, Daniel James, Patrick Bamford, Largie Ramazani, Mateo Joseph, Josuha Guilavogui, James Debayo, Max Wober, Charlie Crew.
