Leeds United supporters' XI for Everton as Michael Skubala backed to name unchanged side

Leeds United supporters have backed caretaker boss Michael Skubala to name an unchanged side when they visit Goodison Park to face relegation rivals Everton on Saturday.

The Whites held Manchester United for 80 minutes at Elland Road until two goals in quick succession from Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho condemned them to a 2-0 defeat.

But supporters are clearly satisfied with the performance against their bitter rivals, and have called on Skubala to stick with his guns against the Toffees.

Everton currently sit 18th place in the Premier League and are just one-point behind Leeds. The Whites are currently on a run of nine league games without a win but showed promise in their doubleheader against Man United under Skubala.

Illan Meslier inevitably starts between the sticks behind a back-line of Luke Ayling, Max Wober, Robin Koch, and Junior Firpo, who has been preferred to the returning Pascal Struijk.

Crysencio Summerville and Wilfried Gnonto have been deployed down the flanks, while Jack Harrison continues in midfield along with US pair Tyler Adams and Weston McKennie.

Patrick Bamford has also been tipped to make his fourth successive start in the Premier League as Leeds' sole striker.

Leeds' Fan XI (4-5-1): Meslier; Ayling, Wober, Koch, Firpo; Summerville, McKennie, Adams, Harrison, Gnonto; Bamford.
