Monk should give these 3 Leeds stars a chance against Newcastle

Liam Bridcutt

Midfielder Liam Bridcutt missed the victory over Preston last weekend due to injury, but Monk may need his control and experience against promotion-chasing Newcastle tonight.

The 27-year-old made his move from Sunderland permanent last summer, and although he spent much of the first half of the campaign on the sidelines due to injury, he has been a vital part of Monk’s midfield, making 20 Championship starts this term.

Kalvin Phillips and Ronaldo Vieira did well against Preston last time out, but against a Newcastle side with pace and power in the middle, more experience may be needed, which is why Bridcutt should return to the side against the Magpies.
