Leeds United supporters make Jack Harrison stance as changes wanted for West Ham clash

Leeds United supporters have called on Jesse Marsch to make three changes, which include dropping Jack Harrison, when his side host West Ham United at Elland Road on Wednesday.

The Whites registered a goalless draw at Newcastle United in their last outing. Despite producing a resilient defensive performance, Leeds struggled to impose themselves on the game in the final third.

Illan Meslier has been inevitably tipped to retain his usual spot between the sticks in the fans' latest XI, after making five saves in a heroic performance at St James' Park.

The back-four is also largely the same, although Rasmus Kristensen replaces Luke Ayling at right-back. With a defensive line of Kristensen, Robin Koch, Liam Cooper and Pascal Struijk, the next change comes in holding midfield, with Marsch called to restore Marc Roca to the heart of midfield at the expense of Adam Forshaw.

United States duo Tyler Adams and Brenden Aaronson make up the other two central midfield slots, while Wilfried Gnonto keeps his place in the starting XI on the wing.

Rodrigo leads the line but supporters want Jack Harrison dropped for Crysencio Summerville, after his underwhelming display against Newcastle. The 26-year-old has failed to build on his auspicious start to the season, which heralded one goal and three assists in his opening three matches.

Harrison was an unused substitute in the Whites' 3-1 defeat against Manchester City, and received the lowest rating by Leeds' supporters after the draw at Newcastle with a score of just 5.1.

Leeds Fans' XI (4-5-1): Meslier; Kristensen, Cooper, Koch, Struijk; Gnonto, Aaronson, Adams, Roca, Summerville; Rodrigo.
