Leeds United supporters have urged their manager Thomas Christiansen on Twitter to recall senior pair Gaetano Berardi and Stuart Dallas to the starting XI against Cardiff.

The Whites travel to Wales on Tuesday night for a Championship clash and will be in good spirits after beating Ipswich 3-2 in their last game.

The Yorkshire giants are currently top of the league table, but upcoming opponents Cardiff are third in the standings and only being them on goal difference.

Leeds were beaten 1-0 against Millwall and will be keen for an improved performance on the road when they face Neil Warnock’s side.

Fans on social media have claimed that defender Berardi and attacker Dallas should come back into the side.

This Is Futbol has rounded up some of the best tweets:

Berardi has fallen down the pecking order this season and had to be patient for his chances under new boss Christiansen.

The fan favourite is adored by the Elland Road faithful for his combative approach and usually operates at right-back, but could come into the side to replace Vurnon Anita at left-back.

Leeds are expected to be in a physical battle against Cardiff and Berardi could be a better solution to try stop in-form wide man Nathaniel Mendez-Laing.

Meanwhile, supporters also want attacker Dallas to come into the team and his industrious hard work could be vital against a strong Cardiff outfit.

The left winger has been in and out of the side so far this season, but could challenge Ezgjan Alioski and Pablo Hernandez for their starting role on Tuesday.
