Bielsa has the opportunity to spring a surprise with team selection tonight

|

Leeds take on Preston later this evening in the latest Sky Bet Championship clash of the campaign.

The games are all huge between now and the end of the season but you do get the impression that this one is just that little bit more important all of a sudden.

After losing to Birmingham, things are back out of our hands in the second-tier and we must respond accordingly before we lose more ground.

It remains to be seen who Marcelo Bielsa opts to play, then, but he does have the opportunity to spring a surprise or two with his side.

With Pablo Hernandez a fitness doubt and Patrick Bamford out of form, attacking-wise we could shake things up, and among that Ryan Edmondson deserves consideration.

He scored again last night for the U23 side and looks confident, possessing that fearlessness that has helped the likes of Jack Clarke out.

He might not start, but he should be on the bench in my eyes and it remains to be seen if Bielsa is thinking similar.
