Leeds United faithful thank Javi Gracia as Wilfried Gnonto starts in two changes vs Wolves

Leeds United supporters have 'thanked' Javi Gracia after he named Wilfried Gnonto in his starting XI to take on Wolves in two changes made for the vital Premier League clash.

Leeds travel to Molineux this afternoon to face Wolves in another crucial battle for their bid to remain in the Premier League next season. The congested nature of the bottom half of the table means that the Whites could move just one point behind their hosts with a win despite starting the match six places behind them.

Julen Lopetegui's side find themselves drawn into the ongoing relegation battle having won just one of their last five top-flight matches, losing 2-1 to Newcastle United last time out.

Leeds on the other hand showed their resilience during last weekend during a thrilling 2-2 draw with Brighton at Elland Road. Javi Gracia's side twice came from behind through stunning goals from Patrick Bamford and Jack Harrison either side of half-time.

And both Bamford and Harrison kept their place in Gracia's starting XI for their trip to Wolves after the 52-year-old made two changes that saw Weston McKennie and Gnonto replace Tyler Adams and Crysencio Summerville in an otherwise unchanged side.

As news of Gracia's line-up started to emerge, it did not take long before fans took to social media to have their say on what they saw as an exciting attacking line-up name by the Spaniard.
