Leeds United supporters make Rodrigo decision ahead of Crystal Palace clash

Leeds United supporters want to see two changes to Javi Gracia's side following the win over Nottingham Forest. The three points at Elland Road moved the Whites up to 13th place, just a point behind this weekend's opponents.

The Whites could move five points clear of the relegation zone with a win and is results go their way elsewhere. Gracia's side have picked up seven points from the last 12 available and head into the tie full of confidence with home advantage this weekend.

Supporters would like to see Rodrgio replace Patrick Bamford up front, with the Spaniard the top goal scorer this season, while they also want to see Rasmus Kristensen replace Luke Ayling at right-back.

Illan Meslier has been an ever present for Leeds United this season and fans want him to retain his place between the sticks, with Robin Koch, Pascal Struijk and Junior Firpo also retaining their place after the win over Forest. Leeds fans also want to see an unchanged midfield with Weston McKennie, Marc Roca, Brenden Aaronson, Jack Harrison and Luis Sinisterra lining up against the Eagles.

Wilfried Gnonto returned to the bench in the win at Elland Road in midweek, but he'll have to settle for a place on the supporters' bench.

Leeds United fan XI: Meslier; Kristensen, Koch, Struijk, Firpo; Harrison, McKennie, Roca, Aaronson, Sinisterra; Rodrigo.
