Leeds United's English players' World Cup chances assessed as Jack Harrison finds form

November 13th is the last day of Premier League action before the 2022 World Cup kicks off and Leeds United's players will certainly be looking to make the first major football tournament to take place during a Premier League season.

Many have stated their wish to make the 23-man England squad that Gareth Southgate will be packing the plane with and some actually have a good chance, with bookies slashing their odds in the last weeks after their strong start to the season.

These are the Leeds players with the best chance of making the England squad according to SkyBet...

Jack Harrison - 9/1

The 25-year-old has scored eight goals in his last two seasons at Leeds and his start to this season has been just as impressive. Three assists and a goal in his first six games this season has shown his ability and has left him claiming he wants a spot on the plane come November.

Harrison has even received 'best in the league' praise from Everton manager Frank Lampard which is sure to see his profile raised in the eyes of Southgate.

Patrick Bamford - 14/1

It was only two years ago Patrick Bamford notched 17 goals in a Premier League season and if he can get some form before November, his odds will go down.

Bamford has previously stated his dream to play for England and made his national debut against Andorra in a 4-0 win at Wembley Stadium in September 2021 but has never played at a major tournament for his country.

Charlie Cresswell - 50/1

Charlie Cresswell has thoroughly impressed on his loan at Championship club Millwall having scored three goals in six substitute appearances, including heading in the opener in their 2-0 win at Cardiff City last week.

Cresswell even made the Championship Team of the Week for his performance, and has been described by manager Gary Rowett as 'brilliant'.

Joe Gelhardt - 80/1

Having represented England at U-16, U-17, U-18 and U-20 levels, Joe Gelhardt is a longshot to make the plane but has performed well enough this season to at least be in the conversation.

He's scored twice for Leeds United in 22 appearances including an injury-time winner against Norwich City in March last season.

Luke Ayling - 125/1

The biggest Leeds longshot, Luke Ayling would need a miracle to make the plane to put it politely. He hasn't played a game this season since getting knee surgery in the summer and would need a few players ahead of him in the national pecking order to make the trip to Qatar.

Here's a list of a few Leeds players that are hoping to go with other nations...

Brenden Aaronson, Tyler Adams - USA

Rodrigo, Diego Llorente - Spain

Rasmus Kristensen - Denmark

Mateusz Klich - Poland

Robin Koch - Germany

Pascal Struijk - Netherlands
