Leeds United fans urge Marcelo Bielsa to make three changes at Liverpool

Leeds United fans would like to see Marcelo Bielsa make three changes for this evening’s trip to Liverpool.

The Whites make the journey to Anfield looking to put a stop to a run of four consecutive matches without a win following three defeats and one draw.

Leeds were defeated 4-2 by Manchester United last time out and with that in mind, supporters are keen on the starting XI receiving a little surgery.

The first of the changes supporters would like to see is in defence, with Junior Firpo coming back in at left-back after he made his return from injury on Sunday with an hour under his belt.

As a result, that would see Stuart Dallas move into the centre of midfield instead of Robin Koch, who misses out due to concussion protocols.

Adam Forshaw would then slot back into the defensive midfield role that he performed excellently in during the second half against the Red Devils.

The second change fans would like to see is on the wing, with Raphinha coming straight back into the line-up after he was dropped from the XI against Man United.

He looked close to his best on Sunday after a couple of below par performances. Jack Harrison is the man to make way, with Daniel James preferred on the left wing.

Finally, following another impressive substitute appearance at the weekend, Joe Gelhardt is the man supporters want leading the line.

Rodrigo Moreno played the first half against Ralf Rangnick’s side in that role, however he was largely ineffective until he was moved back into midfield.

But it is Rodrigo who is the chosen man to give way, with Mateusz Klich getting the nod ahead of him in that final midfield position.

Leeds United fans XI (4-5-1): Meslier; Ayling, Llorente, Struijk, Firpo; Forshaw, Dallas, Klich; Raphinha, Gelhardt, James
