Leeds United supporters' XI for Real Sociedad as Jesse Marsch urged to make four changes

Leeds United fans have chosen their starting XI for the friendly against Real Sociedad on Friday and have called for Jesse Marsch to make four changes.

The Whites defeated Elche 2-1 last time out courtesy of goals from Joe Gelhardt and Mateusz Klich. They return from Spain to face Real Sociedad in a friendly at Elland Road, before playing host to AS Monaco next Wednesday.

Joel Robles is backed to continue between the sticks, although Cody Drameh is tipped to start ahead of Luke Ayling at right-back. There is also a tactical switch with Pascal Struijk returning to left-back at the expense of Leo Hjelde.

Llorente has been selected to replace Hjelde in the starting line-up and partner club captain Liam Cooper. Darko Gyabi comes in for Adam Forshaw in the heart of midfield alongside Marc Roca.

Brenden Aaronson has been reinstated on the right wing following his return from the World Cup and Jack Harrison is named on the opposite flank in a 4-4-2 formation.

Leeds fans have also backed Rodrigo and Gelhardt to continue their attacking partnership after both starting the 2-1 victory over Elche last Thursday.

Leeds Fans' XI: Robles; Drameh, Llorente, Cooper, Struijk; Aaronson, Roca, Gyabi, Harrison; Rodrigo, Gelhardt.
