Leeds United manager Daniel Farke is renowned for his consistency when it comes to selecting his starting XI, but he may be forced into a change when Leeds go to Burnley on Saturday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eight players pick themselves in Farke\u2019s<\/a> XI at the moment. The German gaffer has started the same side for the last four Premier League<\/a> games, with the defence and midfield largely set to remain the same.<\/p>\n

Jaka Bijol\u2019s two clean sheets for Slovenia could tempt Farke<\/a> to start him over Pascal Struijk, while Lucas Perri is set to return from injury<\/a> and could come in to start. But there is a new Leeds<\/a> doubt emerging.<\/p>\n

Brenden Aaronson<\/a> has started the last four league games for Leeds, and has arguably produced the finest patch of form he\u2019s managed since joining Leeds. But there is every chance he could be rested at Burnley.<\/p>\n

Aaronson was an unused substitute against Ecuador last week, having been recalled to the USA squad by Mauricio Pochettino. It means he is likely to play against Australia in the early hours of Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Kick-off is scheduled for 2am, English time, on Wednesday and by the time Aaronson has finished up and had a recovery day and shaken off the jet lag back at Thorp Arch, it will be Friday. It is a risk to start him.<\/p>\n

Especially, given he might play 90 minutes just 72 hours before arguably, Leeds\u2019 biggest game of the season so far. Aaronson is known for his energy, but the Premier League requires players to be 100%.<\/p>\n

If Farke was to replace Aaronson, his options are limited. Dan James is sidelined until after the November break<\/a>, while Willy Gnonto is expected to overcome a calf issue, but won\u2019t have played for a month.<\/p>\n

So, Farke\u2019s only choice in replacing Aaronson is Jack Harrison<\/a>. It would be his first Premier League start of the season and his first league start since returning to Leeds after two years on loan with Everton.<\/p>\n\nDate<\/strong><\/td>\nTeam<\/strong><\/td>\nCompetition<\/strong><\/td>\nVenue<\/strong><\/td>\nMinutes<\/strong><\/td>\nResult<\/strong><\/td>\nG+A<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n27 Decemder, 2020<\/td>\nLeeds<\/td>\nPremier League<\/td>\nElland Road<\/td>\n90<\/td>\n1-0 Leeds<\/td>\n0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n15 May, 2021<\/td>\nLeeds<\/td>\nPremier League<\/td>\nTurf Moor<\/td>\n90<\/td>\n4-0 Leeds<\/td>\n1G, 2A<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n29 August, 2021<\/td>\nLeeds<\/td>\nPremier League<\/td>\nTurf Moor<\/td>\n90<\/td>\n1-1 Draw<\/td>\n0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2 January, 2022<\/td>\nLeeds<\/td>\nPremier League<\/td>\nElland Road<\/td>\n62<\/td>\n3-1 Leeds<\/td>\n1G<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n1 November, 2023<\/td>\nEverton<\/td>\nCarabao Cup<\/td>\nGoodison Park<\/td>\n80<\/td>\n3-0 Everton<\/td>\n0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n16 December, 2023<\/td>\nEverton<\/td>\nPremier League<\/td>\nGoodison Park<\/td>\n90<\/td>\n2-0 Everton<\/td>\n0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n6 April, 2024<\/td>\nEverton<\/td>\nPremier League<\/td>\nTurf Moor<\/td>\n7<\/td>\n1-0 Everton<\/td>\n0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Yet, Harrison can be Leeds\u2019 secret weapon. His form against Burnley is incredible, winning six of his seven career games against Scott Parker\u2019s side and having a hand in four goals and assists in those games.<\/p>\n

If Aaronson is not 100% as the demands of the Premier League require, then Farke has to make a change and Harrison provides him with a player that knows how to do it against Burnley, even away from home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leeds United manager Daniel Farke is renowned for his consistency when it comes to selecting his starting XI,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":500706,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[12410,748,393,4884,33762,1860,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-500705","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-brenden-aaronson","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-jack-harrison","13":"tag-leeds","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115376594762398717","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500705","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=500705"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500705\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/500706"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=500705"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=500705"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=500705"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
