5.30 KO

This will be a very tough match, make no mistake. They’ve only lost 2 out of their last 13 or so games. To us and Arsenal. And their record at Elland Road is formidable, especially under the lights.

But we ourselves are in reasonably decent form and we should have a bit of confidence going into the game. Horrible feeling Sav will start though!!

Will take a scruffy 1-0 all day long though I think we’ll need to score at least twice

2-1 Semenyo O’Reilly

Hopefully Guehi has a good game, don't want John digging him out and having a go at our own fans because they don't point it out

Well, for sure if he makes a slip, you won't see it. But he's a class player, CB can be that sort of position

Like you thought McAtee should be playing when everybody else said he was obviously shite, until you agreed after about 2 years. Like you say Stones isn't a class player.

Don't mind people being unable to see the bleedin obvious but not to force it on everyone else

Anyway, schoolyard stuff aside, this does promise to be a tough one. Lot's of sideways passing for sure

Leeds will be looking to score on the break, so hopefully he will start Khusanov. And hopefully with Semenyo and Cherki now on board and maybe Doku, we have enough to break through this.

Savinho? No thanks

Savinho is nailed on to come off the bench today, not sure if Doku is ready yet, but is back training this week. Nice to have wide attacking options back in time for the business end of the season

Savinho has sort of become our Jigsaw Man. A title, I think, invented for Stuart Barlow in the Everton team of the 80s

Goes to pieces as soon as he gets near the box

I genuinely think you fancy McAtee. You bring him up every week

The delusion is strong with you. "Everyone else said..." Just because you think something it doesn't mean everyone else does. You've been called out multiple times to provide examples of "facts" you've spouted and EVERY time you go into hiding.

This always makes me piss. Crossley does a great Clough impression

Brilliant. Better than Mike Yarwood

Are we one up yet?

XI | Donnarumma, Nunes, Dias, Guéhi, Ait-Nouri, Rodri, Bernardo (C), O’Reilly, Semenyo, Cherki, Marmoush

SUBS | Trafford, Reijnders, Stones, Ake, Doku, Nico, Savinho, Khusanov, Foden

Oh well, maybe Leeds don't have any fast forwards

What injury has Haaland got?

Bench is getting better

Dunno. Pep always talks about niggles. But he can be pretty disingenuous

Haaland put in one shift all season, against Newcastle, and he's out

Mase wrote:Haaland put in one shift all season, against Newcastle, and he's out

Typical eh? Took a few knocks but come on he should still be able to turn out.
Hopefully Semenyo will show up tonight with Msrmoush assisting.
Really think Khusanov deserved to start. Pep is infuriating

Micah is such a clown

Hate playing this lot hope we don’t pick up lots of injuries happy with any sort of a win
