Leeds United supporters' XI for Cardiff City as Max Wober tipped for debut in much changed side

Leeds United fans have tipped Max Wober to make his debut, as they urge Jesse Marsch to make six changes for their FA Cup third round trip to Cardiff City on Sunday.

The Whites have registered back-to-back draws against Newcastle and West Ham respectively in the Premier League. But supporters have called for a number of changes for their visit to the Welsh capital, as well as a from a 4-2-3-1 to a 4-4-2 formation, after selecting their latest XI.

Illan Meslier retains his place between the sticks, but there are a significant amount of changes across the back-line. Drameh is handed a rare start at the expense of Luke Ayling, while Pascal Struijk is restored to his traditional position in the heart of defence.

Diego Llorente is given the nod ahead of club captain Liam Cooper, and Wober replaces Robin Koch to start at left-back. Jack Harrison is also backed to make a return to the starting line-up, after his impressive cameo from the bench against the Hammers.

Harrison was introduced in the second half by Marsch, and set-up Rodrigo's equaliser as Leeds drew 2-2 against West Ham at Elland Road on Wednesday. He comes in for Brenden Aaronson on the right side of midfield, and Sam Greenwood partners Tyler Adams in central midfield, as Marc Roca drops out.

The sixth and final change sees Joe Gelhardt form a strike partnership with Rodrigo, with Wilfried Gnonto left out of the starting XI.

Leeds fans' XI (4-4-2): Meslier; Drameh, Struijk, Llorente, Wober; Summerville, Adams, Greenwood, Harrison; Gelhardt, Rodrigo.
