Liam Cooper - Fills stat sheet versus Newcastle Cooper made four tackles (all won), six clearances and three interceptions while helping his side to keep a clean sheet during Saturday's scoreless draw against Newcastle.

Impact Cooper had his hands full here and didn't disappoint, posting one of his best stat lines of the campaign and being key for his side to shut the opposition down, pacing his team in clearances while also having a season high in tackles. The center-back will try to remain productive during Wednesday's home clash against West Ham.

Tyler Adams - Makes six tackles versus Newcastle Adams created two chances and made six tackles (one won), two clearances, two interceptions and one block during Saturday's scoreless draw against Newcastle.

Impact Adams was back after serving a one-match ban and displayed his usual tenacity in the middle of the park, pacing all players in tackles, while also being involved in the build-up of plays the few times his side was able to threaten the opposition. The midfielder remains an integral part of the team and will certainly have a key role during the second half of the season. Up next for him is Wednesday's home clash against West Ham.

Rodrigo Moreno - Takes three shots against Newcastle Rodrigo had three shots (one on target) during Saturday's scoreless draw against Newcastle.

Impact Rodrigo couldn't find the back of the net but at least had a much better performance than the one he had on the previous match, pacing his side in shots attempted. With nine goals over 15 EPL appearances so far this season, the forward is Leeds' biggest hope up front and will try to get back to the scoring column during Wednesday's home clash against West Ham.

Illan Meslier - Keeps clean sheet versus Newcastle Meslier made five saves and kept a clean sheet during Saturday's scoreless draw against Newcastle.

Impact Meslier was one of the biggest reasons why his side could escape with at least one point despite seeing the opposition controlling most of the match. After conceding 19 goals over his previous eight starts, the goalkeeper stepped up against Newcastle's powerful attack and guaranteed his third clean sheet of the season with some big saves. Now he'll try to keep it up during Wednesday's home clash against West Ham.

Jack Harrison - Starts against Newcastle Harrison took one shot (on goal), crossed five times (three accurate) and created two chances during Saturday's 0-0 draw with Newcastle United.

Impact Harrison returned from a groin injury in time to start against Newcastle on Saturday. The attacker played 64 minutes as he's scored once and provided two assists during 14 appearances.

Crysencio Summerville - Targeting Saturday return Summerville (leg) is targeting a return during Saturday's trip to Newcastle, manager Jesse Marsch announced. "Now we get Tyler Adams back, which we think will be a major boost for...

Impact Summerville was able to return to the bench during Wednesday's clash with Manchester City, but went unused. The winger has earned a role in the starting XI with some excellent form and should be able to return to the pitch in some capacity during Saturday's trip to Newcastle. With Jack Harrison (groin) also the attack figures to be far more potent than in Wednesday's match.

Jack Harrison - Hopeful for return Harrison (groin) could return to the pitch during Saturday's trip to Newcastle, according to manager Jesse Marsch."Now we get Tyler Adams back, which we think will be a major boost...

Impact Harrison was named to the bench during a Wednesday clash with Manchester City but wasn't called upon as he continues to recover from a groin issue. The midfielder should be able to make a full return against Newcastle, where he would likely become driving force behind what has been a lackluster attack.

Patrick Bamford - Ruled out against Newcastle Bamford (hip) is ruled out for Saturday's trip to Newcastle, manager Jesse Marsch told reporters."[Bamford is] Probably not in training until next week, hopefully Sunday [or] Monda...

Impact Bamford remains out as he looks to return to training following Saturday's match. The forward underwent hip surgery during the World Cup break and likely won't be thrown back into a major role immediately, with a role off the bench more likely in his first match back.

Illan Meslier - Six saves in loss Meslier made six saves and allowed three goals in Wednesday's 3-1 defeat versus Manchester City.

Impact Meslier faced nine shots and could have conceded far more goals with better finishing from the City attackers. This was always going to be one of the toughest matches on the calendar, though with a shaky defense in front of him every match has been tough for Meslier. He has just two clean sheets in 15 starts, putting him on pace for another disappointing clean sheet total.

Rasmus Kristensen - Busy defensively Kristensen generated one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to Manchester City.

Impact Kristensen was pinned back throughout Wednesday's match, unable to get forward behind waves of City attacks. The right-back has been a consistent starter and offers upside going forward, though he has just a single assist in 13 starts. Kristensen and Leeds have also struggled to keep clean sheets limiting his upside defensively.

Sam Greenwood - Hot form continues Greenwood assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 3-1 loss versus Manchester City. In addition, He was given a...

Impact Greenwood earned a start in the first match back from the World Cup break and provided his second assist of the campaign. The midfielder has seen limited playing time, largely off the bench, but has still produced three goal contributions in his last three appearances. With Jack Harrison (groin) set to return it's likely Greenwood returns to the bench, but this sort of form could keep him in contention for a more substantial role.

DECEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Pascal Struijk - Nets rare goal Struijk scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Wednesday's 3-1 loss versus Manchester City.

Impact Struijk scored his second goal in 14 matches for what proved to be little consolation in the one-sided loss. The left-back has continued a major role in the starting XI, often going the full 90. That said Struijk's three goal contributions don't give him major offensive upside and the Leeds defense has struggled to keep clean sheets.

DECEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Tyler Adams - Eligible to return Adams has served his one-match ban and will be in contention against Newcastle United on Saturday.

Impact Adams started all four World Cup matches for the United States, in which he recorded 11 tackles (nine won), five clearances and four interceptions, so it's possible he may have been left out of the starting XI against Manchester City on Wednesday anyway. With Adams back in the fold, he should return to featuring prominently for Leeds moving forward.
