Leeds United supporters give verdict as Javi Gracia reveals XI to face Fulham

Leeds United supporters have given their thoughts on Javi Gracia's XI to face Fulham as they prepare for the F.A Cup fifth round at Craven Cottage this evening.

The Whites took a huge step towards escaping relegation in the Premier League over the weekend as Junior Firpo's second-half goal saw them take a 1-0 win over drop zone rivals Southampton.

However, the new Whites manager will have to successfully navigate a different competition - but one he'll be familiar with from his time at Watford.

Illan Meslier continues his duties in between the sticks, while Luke Ayling lines up alongside Robin Koch with Rasmus Kristensen and left-back Firpo either side of the central pair.

Marc Roca, Tyler Adams and Weston McKennie all sit in midfield while Crysencio Summerville and Wilfried Gnonto start either side of January window signing Georginio Rutter.

Diogo Monteiro makes an appearance on the bench alongside Joel Robles, Darko Gyabi, Brenden Aaronson, Jack Harrison, Archie Gray, Sonny Perkins, Mateo Joseph and Patrick Bamford.

Many fans took to social media to discuss the line-up, with many highlighting the change in formation as a positive sign while others pointed out the appearance of Gray on the bench after his lengthy injuries.
