Leeds United supporters have given their thoughts on Javi Gracia's starting XI that will host Leicester City at Elland Road for a vital Premier League clash tonight.

The Whites sit 16th in the table, just a point above the Foxes, and with both sides teetering on the edge of the relegation zone, it's set up to be a crucial six-pointer.

While Gracia's side will be hoping to get revenge on Dean Smith's men for their 2-0 defeat back in October, they'll also be trying to improve on two heavy home defeats they've suffered in the last few weeks against Liverpool and Crystal Palace.

Luke Ayling and Junior Firpo come into the starting XI as two of four changes made by Gracia alongside Robin Koch and Liam Cooper while Weston McKennie and Marc Roca keep their places alongside Jack Harrison from the defeat against Fulham.

Going forward, Patrick Bamford, Luis Sinisterra and Rodrigo all start while Gracia continues to keep Wilfried Gnonto on the bench, something many Whites fans picked up on as they took to social media following the line-up's reveal.
