Leeds United squad revealed for Manchester City Premier League clash

Sam Allardyce will make his debut in the dugout when Leeds United travel to Premier League table toppers Manchester City on Saturday afternoon.

The 68-year-old replaced Javi Gracia as manager on Wednesday after the Spaniard was relieved of his duties following a run of just three wins in 11 league games.

Full Leeds United squad to face Manchester City: Illan Meslier, Joel Robles, Kristoffer Klaesson; Luke Ayling, Robin Koch, Pascal Struijk, Max Wober, Diogo Monteiro, Junior Firpo; Adam Forshaw, Marc Roca, Darko Gyabi, Archie Gray, Jack Harrison, Brenden Aaronson, Weston McKennie, Sam Greenwood; Crysencio Summerville, Georginio Rutter, Wilfried Gnonto, Rodrigo, Patrick Bamford, Sonny Perkins, Mateo Joseph.
