Javi Gracia has named an unchanged starting XI as Leeds United welcome Crystal Palace to Elland Road in another crucial clash at the bottom end of the Premier League.
Adam Forshaw is restored to the bench at the expense of Darko Gyabi after over three months out with injury, while Wilfried Gnonto starts on the bench for the second straight game after recovering from an ankle injury.
Leeds have collected 10 points from six games in the Premier League under Gracia. The Whites climbed two points clear of the bottom three by defeating Nottingham Forest 2-1 on Tuesday night, and can extend that gap to five by beating Palace.

Here is how Leeds fans have been reacting to the latest team announcement on social media...
Leeds United starting XI: Meslier; Ayling, Koch, Struijk, Firpo; McKennie, Roca; Harrison, Aaronson, Sinisterra; Bamford.
Subs: Robles, Cooper, Kristensen, Gyabi, Greenwood, Rodrigo, Summerville, Gnonto, Rutter.
@MaxineGFX I think if Bamford doesn't perform in first half then get Rodrigo on. Would have preferred him to start today as well. Same for Ayling and Rasmus.
@R18KV No Gnonto again, very interesting. Javi actually hasn't been a huge fan of Gnonto. If I remember correctly he's only started one or two games in the league since Javi took over.
@liam_lightowler Aaronson needs to produce something today, he's offering nothing lately.
@NormanProctorFM Bamford over Rodrigo still makes zero sense. Understandable why Harrison and Sini start thought after the last game.
@PiicklesLUFC Bamford, Ayling and Aaronson shouldn't be anywhere near the starting XI.
@Freddie24325559 know they’re coming back from injuries but our best 2 players are on the bench.
@JamesLUFC05 Ayling ain’t great but the rest is mainly good.
@Gary_Calter Trust Javi.
@BuhagiarMichael Gnonto and Summerville impact for the second half.
@AndrewRichardG5 Is Gyabi injured if Forshaw is on the bench?
@KevRedCon Ayling, Aaronson and Bamford all getting the nod today again, let’s hope they deliver something they haven’t done this season yet in a massive must win game!
