This weekend presents a chance for Leeds to bounce back from two dropped points against Derby last weekend.

At home, the Whites had over 60% of the possession and even missed a penalty but Chris Martin popped up with a late equaliser.

It was punishment for Leeds’ failure to take their chances as even Marcelo Bielsa was hounded by supporters on social media after the game.

But versus Charlton, his side can cement themselves at the top of the table as they travel to the Valley.

Calls have been made in recent weeks for Helder Costa and Eddie Nketiah to start, but will they? We know for certain that one definitely will.

Bielsa confirmed in his pre-match press conference that Pablo Hernandez had a muscular injury and that Costa would come into the side. Our predicted XI tips the 64-year-old to make one other change though.

That sees Jamie Shackleton drop out of midfield with Adam Forshaw returning.

He has missed the last two outings through injury but the manager noted on Thursday that they know they can count on him.

Patrick Bamford has been the subject of criticism and praise this term but we think he’ll start again up top over Nketiah.

He is goalless in his last three matches but hit the post and won the penalty last week. However, another game without finding the net could have him under real pressure.

The backline should have a familiar look to it, one that includes Ben White and Liam Cooper. The west Yorkshire club have conceded just four goals in eight matches in the league this term.
