Leeds United fans tell Jesse Marsch their preferred starting XI for Manchester City clash

Leeds United fans reckon Jesse Marsch should make one simple change to the starting XI that faced Crystal Palace when they take on Manchester City this weekend. Some astute defending and strong goalkeeping from Illan Meslier saw the Whites walk away from Selhurst Park with a point in a 0-0 draw, helping Marsch's side move five points clear of 18th placed Everton in the relegation zone.

However, Leeds' survival hopes are set to be tested in the coming weeks with games against Arsenal and Chelsea following up Saturday's match against City. Illan Meslier is the obvious choice between the sticks, while the back four of Luke Ayling, Diego Llorente, Liam Cooper and Stuart Dallas remains unchanged in the fans select XI.

The Palace match saw Kalvin Phillips return to the Leeds starting line-up for the first time since December, with the fans opting to stick with him and Mateusz Klich in centre midfield.
