Leeds United fans have urged Jesse Marsch to go all out attack against Manchester City on Wednesday evening. The Whites are set to host the Premier League champions in their first game following the World Cup break and will need to be at the top of their game to get a result.
While a strong defensive performance is likely to be the key, Leeds supporters have opted for a 4-4-2 formation in the absence of Tyler Adams due to suspension. Starting in goal, Illan Meslier is handed a start despite his struggles with glandular fever in recent weeks, which saw him miss all three friendlies.
It is also the same back four which started the 4-3 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur in the final game before the break, meaning Rasmus Kristensen, Robin Koch, Liam Cooper and Pascal Struijk start. Cooper is one of a number of fitness doubts ahead of the game, but Jesse Marsch was hopeful of his availability in his pre-match press conference.
