Delighted for Lewis, he seems very comfortable in possession not sure about him defensively but our back 4 have to collectively defend much better than against Liverpool. Not sure about both Mahrez and Grealish starting. Both are excellent in possession and holding onto the ball but are guilty of occasionally slowing our build up which makes us much easier to defend against. I think KDB will really need to be on it tonight.
 
Always a bit of a worry when Bernardo and Foden are both missing from the start. Can all become a bit one-paced. But should obviously have too much quality for them.
2-1 win.
 
I think Grealish and Mahrez together makes sense in this match.

Leeds are unlikely to sit back and might be a danger, given enough chances in an end-to-end match.

Jack and Riyad both offer ball retention which will reduce the number of attacks we face and stop the match getting out of control and pinbally. They're also both at their best with space to run into, which I'd assume they'll get if Leeds play as they tend to and try to come out and attack us.

Grealish/Mahrez will help control the pace, bring our midfield into the match, create chances, and limit what Leeds can do.
 
What a big night for Rico Lewis keeping Walker on the bench, even with all the caveats attached. Fair play to the lad.
