Leeds United supporters want Jesse Marsch to make big call on Max Wober and Georginio Rutter

Leeds United supporters have named a strong starting XI to face Brentford in the Premier League this afternoon. The Whites faithful have called for Jesse Marsch to start new boy Max Wober following his arrival from RB Salzburg.

The Austrian international is yet to start for Leeds in the Premier League, but did play 57 minutes against Cardiff City in the FA Cup. Wober was withdrawn after 57 minutes before being replaced by Luke Ayling against the Bluebirds.

Supporters have called for Robin Koch to be reinstated to the back line that took on Cardiff in midweek, with Illan Meslier keeping his place between the sticks. Wilfried Gnonto, scorer of the spectacular opener against the Championship side in midweek, keeps his place in the supporters starting XI.

The Italian has been the surprise package so far this season and has impressed under Marsch. Whites' supporters would like to see Marc Roca and Tyler Adams keep their place in the heart of midfield, but have called for Luis Sinisterra to replace Sam Greenwood on the flank.

A change in formation from supporters has seen them opt for a 4-4-2, with Patrick Bamford and Rodrigo leading the line at Elland Road this afternoon. The Spaniard continued his impressive goal scoring return this season with a goal just after the half hour mark in midweek, while Bamford scored twice from the bench to put his goal scoring hoodoo behind him.

A win for Marsch's side this afternoon would lift them up to 14th in the Premier League table, three points away from the relegation zone where they currently lie just outside given their superior goal difference.
