'Time to prove yourself' - Leeds United fans react to Bielsa's team selection against Man City

Leeds United fans have questioned the inclusion of Tyler Roberts in the starting XI to face Manchester City over record signing Rodrigo Moreno, who again starts on the bench.

The Whites welcome Pep Guardiola's side to Elland Road following back-to-back victories over Fulham and Sheffield United.

Patrick Bamford's 87th-minute winner at Bramall Lane has Marcelo Bielsa's side in fine form playing against the former Premier League champions, with a much-welcome clean sheet ahead of their most daunting challenge of the season to date.

Marcelo Bielsa has made just one change to the side victorious in south Yorkshire, with Ezgjan Alioski in to replace Jack Harrison, who is ineligible to play against his parent club.

However, the biggest surprise if the inclusion of Roberts, who has been in the side with Pablo Hernandez out injured.

The Welshman was hooked at half-time against Sheffield United with Rodrigo introduced and the Spaniard look sharp and destined for his second Leeds start, in the eyes of the supporters.

However, Bielsa has stuck by Roberts to face Kevin de Bruyne and Co, with most Leeds fans suggesting it's the last chance saloon for the 21-year-old.

City meanwhile have handed a Premier League debut to new £65.2million signing Ruben Dias, whilst Raheem Sterling leads the line in the absence of Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus.

Leeds United: Meslier, Ayling, Koch, Cooper, Dallas; Phillips; Costa, Klich, Roberts, Alioski; Bamford.

Manchester City; Ederson, Walker, Dias, Laporte, Mendy; Rodri, De Bruyne, Foden; Mahrez, Sterling, Torres.
