Leeds United supporters' XI for Nottingham Forest bout as two January signings handed debuts

Leeds United supporters have told manager Jesse Marsch to hand January signings Georginio Rutter and Weston McKennie their Premier League debuts against Nottingham Forest.

The Frenchman has already played in a Whites shirt after making his full debut against Accrington Stanley but is yet to feature in England's top-flight.

The USA international, meanwhile, arrived earlier this week and has been thrown into the deep end by supporters alongside compatriot and USMNT teammate Tyler Adams.

Illan Meslier keeps his place in between the sticks as he looks for a fifth clean sheet this season at the weekend, while captain Liam Cooper comes back in to replace the suspended Robin Koch at centre-back.

The defence is otherwise untouched since the Whites' last Premier League match against Brentford two weeks ago with Pascal Struijk, Max Wober and Luke Ayling all retaining their places.

McKennie and Adams line up alongside Luis Sinisterra as a three in midfield, while Rutter is given his debut playing on the right-wing next to Patrick Bamford and starlet Wilfried Gnonto.

Leeds United fan XI (4-3-3): Meslier; Ayling, Cooper, Wober, Struijk; Adams, McKennie, Sinisterra; Rutter, Bamford, Gnonto.
