Leeds United fans have offered Illan Meslier their support as the 19-year-old Frenchman prepares to make his Championship debut at Hull City.
The young goalkeeper has replaced the suspended Kiko Casilla in Leeds' starting line-up in one of two changes that Marcelo Bielsa has made for the lunchtime clash, as Kalvin Phillips returns to the line-up after sitting out Wednesday evening's win at Middlesbrough with an injury.
Meslier, who turns 20 next week, made his first appearance in a Leeds shirt in last month's FA Cup defeat at Arsenal, but will now be thrust into the spotlight, with Casilla out until mid-April.
The teenager will have an unchanged back-four of Luke Ayling, Ben White, Liam Cooper and Stuart Dallas in front of him, with Phillips returning in his usual role in front of the defence.
Mateusz Klich and Pablo Hernandez keep their places in the middle, while Helder Costa and Jack Harrison will be on the flanks and Patrick Bamford again leads the line.
January signing Elia Caprile makes his first appearance in a matchday squad and takes up a place on the bench, while Jean-Kevin Augustin again misses out through injury. THe other change to the bench sees Gaetano Berardi drop out of the starting XI and replace Oliver Casey among the subs.
Leeds United: Meslier, Ayling, White, Cooper, Dallas, Phillips, Klich, Harrison, Costa, Hernandez, Bamford
Subs: Caprile, Berardi, Alioski, Douglas, Shackleton, Stevens, Roberts
