There are a lot of games for Leeds United in February, including the Premier League, League Cup final, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League. Leeds United's battle line is too long Well, this is what worries a lot of people.

To be honest, Zhong Cheng himself was a little worried, after all, they had just met once not long ago. If it weren't for their good luck and Liverpool's poor state, they might have capsized.

Rogers and others persuaded Zhong Cheng to give up some games. Of course, the only game that can be given up now is the FA Cup. However, Zhong Cheng didn't listen, so Rogers and others were very worried.

In this game, Zhong Cheng made a rotation. Leeds United's starting lineup is as follows:
