Leeds United face a stern test this weekend as they clash with fellow promotion chasers Aston Villa, as they seek to retain their spot at the top of the Championship.
The Peacocks boast five consecutive victories under Marcelo Bielsa and have established themselves amongst the favourites to earn promotion to the Premier League, where they have been absent ever since relegation in 2004.
Injury problems have tested the depth of Bielsa’s squad this season and further changes to the starting line-up could be made for the game at Villa Park on Sunday – and fans on social media have been debating what sort of side they will see selected.
Jack Clarke has been tipped by many to earn a start after his recent cameos off the bench and some believe his opportunity will come this weekend after he did not feature for the U23’s this week.
We have selected some of their comments below and some other views from the supporters.
Clarke didn't play today did he? Think he's about to get his first start.

I think for this game Kalvin can’t play at the back, in front of them yes

I think we have been missing Phillips in the middle of the park. Also feel Klich hasn’t been as effective without Phillips sitting in the midfield breaking things up and playing him through. Should play Halme and get KP back in midfield. Hernandez in at no.10

Halme for Baker. 3 CB’s against 2 strikers.

Same back 5 with Forshaw holding. A four compromising of the below with Roofe leading the line:
Clarke Pablo Klich AlioskiBamford on after 60mins for Alioski with Roofe slotting wide maybe. #LUFC

I’d trust Bielsa’s call. Whatever team he turns out it’ll be well prepared and fit for purpose.

If Clarke doesn’t start then I’d have to really wonder what he needs to do to break into starting 11
