'Today has to be the day' Leeds United fans react as Marcelo Bielsa names unchanged XI for Sheffield Wednesday clash

Leeds United fans have again given a mixed verdict on Marcelo BIelsa's decision to name an unchanged starting XI to face Sheffiled Wednedsday.

The Whites boss has kept the faith with the 11 players that claimed a draw at Preston North End on Tuesday, with Liam Cooper returning to the bench.

The Leeds skipper has been absent since he limped off during the 1-0 win over West Bromwich Albion at the start of the month with a groin injury and makes the bench today.

That means Kiko Casilla will continue in goal behind a back-four of Luke Ayling, Gaetano Berardi, Ben White Gjanni Alioski. 

Kalvin Phillips, Stuart Dallas and Mateusz Klich continue in the centre of midfield, with Jack Harrison and Helder Costa out wide. Patrick Bamford will be looking for his first goal in nine games up front.

Eddie Nketiah is again on the bench following his late equaliser at Preston, while defender Barry Douglas is the man to drop out of the matchday squad for Cooper. 

Leeds begin the weekend second in the Championship table, with the Owls sitting one place behind them in second.

Leeds United XI: Casilla, Ayling, Berardi, White, Alioski, Phillips, Dallas, Klich, Costa, Harrison, Bamford

Subs: Miazek, Davis, Cooper, Gotts, Roerts, Clarke, Nketiah
