'Clean sheet key tonight' Leeds United fans react as Marcelo Bielsa names side to face Preston

There were no surprises in Marcelo Bielsa's chosen Leeds United XI for the trip to Deepdale, but there's still been plenty of chat on social media.

Patrick Bamford continues to lead the line for the Whites, despite getting substituted at half-time for Eddie Nketiah in the 1-0 win over Birmingham on the weekend.

As expected, Pablo Hernandez remains sidelined and Jamie Shackleton and Adam Forshaw are also still out, leaving Stuart Dallas to play in midfield with the ever-present Mateusz Klich. In defence, Gaetano Berardi partners Ben White in the absence of club captain Liam Cooper.

As usual, Nketiah and Bamford are the major talking points, with Arsenal fans getting in on the act as they wait for a first league start for their loanee.

Here's what fans have been saying about Bielsa's team selection over on Twitter.
