Leeds United fans' XI for Fulham clash as Jesse Marsch urged to ring the changes

Leeds United fans have urged Jesse Marsch to ring the changes for Sunday's clash with Fulham at Elland Road. The Whites' winless run was extended to seven on Thursday with a disappointing 2-0 defeat at Leicester City and supporters are calling for alterations both in defence and attack.

It is in fact at the back where fans would like to see the majority of the changes after a poor showing at the King Power Stadium. The Foxes did not need to do too much to find themselves two goals ahead in the first half and that sort of slack defending cannot afford to continue if Leeds are to arrest their slump in form.

In front of Illan Meslier in goal, fans would like to see both full backs changed with Pascal Struijk returning from injury in place of Junior Firpo and Luke Ayling making his first start of the season ahead of Rasmus Kristensen. At centre back, Robin Koch is the only member of the back four to keep his place as Liam Cooper returns alongside him, replacing Diego Llorente.

The centre of midfield is the only area that remains unchanged from Thursday with Tyler Adams, Marc Roca and Brenden Aaronson all retaining their places. Luis Sinisterra also keeps his place on the wing, with Jack Harrison coming back in for Crysencio Summerville after his first Premier League start.

One of Marsch's biggest calls on Sunday is who leads the line and fans have once again opted for Patrick Bamford ahead of Rodrigo Moreno and Joe Gelhardt.

Full XI: Meslier; Ayling, Koch, Cooper, Struijk; Adams, Roca; Sinisterra, Aaronson, Harrison; Bamford
