Leeds United supporters have called on Javi Gracia to make two changes to his starting XI for their FA Cup clash against Fulham, with Georginio Rutter replacing Patrick Bamford in attack.
Leeds head to the capital to take on Fulham in their bid to reach the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. Gracia took Watford all the way to the final of the competition in 2019 and knows how big a lift a cup run can have for morale within his squad.
Premier League survival is no doubt the main priority, but the Spaniard has made it clear that he wants to win every match, regardless of the competition. You can therefore expect the 52-year-old to name a strong starting XI at Craven Cottage, as he looks to find the balance between rotation and choosing as competitive a side as possible.

Ahead of kick-off, this is how Leeds fans want their side to line up this evening as LeedsLive takes a closer look at what you have voted for using our interactive widget:
In goal, supporters have called for Illan Meslier to retain his spot between the sticks. Although the Frenchman had little to do against Southampton, he will be eager to make it back-to-back clean sheets against the Cottagers.
Leeds fans have urged Gracia to stick with the same-back four that stopped the Saints from scoring during the 1-0 win at Elland Road on Saturday, as Max Wober and Robin Koch look to continue their fine centre-back partnership, with Luke Ayling and Junior Firpo either side.
Tyler Adams and Weston McKennie have also been backed by supporters to keep their starting spots, as they named the American duo in their preferred XI. Jack Harrison looks set to keep his place as well, yet calls for Crysencio Summerville to start would see Brenden Aaronson drop to the bench.
In attack, fans want Wilfried Gnonto to start once again against Fulham, yet they have called for Gracia to bring Rutter in alongside him, a. move that would see Patrick Bamford named among the substitutes.
Starting line-up Leeds fans want to see vs Fulham: Meslier; Ayling, Wober, Koch, Firpo; Adams, McKennie, Summerville, Harrison; Rutter, Gnonto.
