Leeds United supporters' XI for Manchester City amid Illan Meslier and Weston McKennie calls

Leeds United supporters have called for Sam Allardyce to drop Illan Meslier and Weston McKennie against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

Meslier has come under scrutiny in recent weeks after conceding a record 23 goals in seven games in April. The Frenchman was at fault for Bournemouth's second goal in the 4-1 defeat last Sunday as he spilled the ball straight to the feet of Jefferson Lerma to bag his brace.

His goalkeeping was also questionable for Bournemouth's fourth with Antoine Semenyo's low shot from range dribbling underneath him.

McKennie has failed to convince since joining on loan from Juventus in January and produced yet another lacklustre display on the South Coast.

Leeds fans have been picking their preferred starting XI and have called for Joel Robles to replace Meslier between the sticks, and Adam Forshaw to start in the heart of midfield over McKennie.

Elsewhere, Max Wober comes in for the injured Liam Cooper, and Junior Firpo is restored to the starting XI at the expense of Rasmus Kristensen.

Leeds United (4-5-1): Robles; Ayling, Wober, Koch, Firpo; Summerville, Roca, Forshaw, Harrison, Gnonto; Bamford.
