Ange Postecoglou needs to strike that delicate balance between giving players minutes to ensure his entire squad is happy and sharp if called upon, while not putting the team in a precarious position to compete in a potential banana skin of a game at the CBS Arena.
Radu Dragusin needs to play and Postecoglou must decide whether Djed Spence, after his Europa League exclusion, should join him as well as potentially the experienced Ben Davies.
Archie Gray could also come into the team, having played 52 games last season in the Championship and faced Coventry home and away. He played in those matches for Leeds as a right-back and Postecoglou must decide whether to switch out the entire back four or play the youngster in midfield
