Leeds United could be about to add five players to strongest starting XI vs Fulham

Leeds United could be about to hand starts to some of their new signings for the first time this weekend.

The Whites were held to a goalless draw with Newcastle in their last fixture before the September international break. Daniel Farke's side have four points from their opening three Premier League fixtures and will be determined to get more on the board this month.

United will take on Fulham on Saturday afternoon in what could be a difficult away trip to Craven Cottage. Farke could make several changes to his starting line-up for the trip to the capital, which may see some new signings given a runout.

James Justin made a cameo appearance from the bench against Newcastle last time out, and Farke could be tempted to give the former Leicester City full-back a start against Fulham. Whether this would see Jayden Bogle or Gabriel Gudmundsson drop to the bench, though, remains to be seen.

Leeds also have two new strikers at their disposal this season following the signings of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Noah Okafor. Calvert-Lewin also made an appearance from the bench against Newcastle, while Okafor was an unused substitute and will be keen to get his first start since his summer move from AC Milan.

Leeds also had Sebastian Bornauw and Jaka Bijol on the bench for the draw with Newcastle. Both players are yet to start for Leeds following their moves earlier in the summer, with neither defender yet to be awarded their first minutes as a Leeds player.

Farke will have a decision to make on which players will be handed starts against Fulham this weekend and which players to leave on the bench.
