Leeds United's upcoming clash with Leicester City is the definition of a relegation six-pointer - and fans would like to see Javi Gracia make six changes at Elland Road. The Whites have lost their last three Premier League fixtures, and have conceded 11 times in their previous two outings on home soil.
Leeds put in an improved defensive display in the capital on Saturday, only for mistakes to prove costly in the 2-1 loss to Fulham. Gracia's side remain a point above the relegation zone, but would be dragged further into the mire by a fourth straight defeat.
In contrast, the Foxes arrive at Elland Road in good spirits after securing a comeback win over rivals Wolves on Saturday. It was their first victory under interim boss Dean Smith, with the former Aston Villa boss urging his players to keep the home crowd 'quiet' on Tuesday night.

Bearing the importance of this fixture in mind, Leeds fans have urged Gracia to make sweeping changes by dropping the likes of Brenden Aaronson, Ilan Meslier, and Weston McKennie. Patrick Bamford is also recalled to the starting eleven to partner Rodrigo, with no place again for club-record signing Georginio Rutter.
Joel Robles is given the nod in goal, with Luke Ayling and Junior Firpo restored to the full-back positions. Max Wober is shifted inside to partner Liam Cooper at the heart of defence, with Rasmus Kristensen and Robin Koch coming out of the side.
Adam Forshaw earns a recall to take McKennie's place, with Luis Sinisterra taking Jack Harrison's spot on the left flank. Crysencio Summerville keeps his place on the right wing, with Bamford and Rodrigo through the middle.
