Fans of Leeds United have been reacting to a post on Twitter, in which Adam Pope relayed some Sheffield United team news ahead of Leeds’ fixture with the Blades this weekend.
In his tweet, Pope stated that United manager, Chris Wilder, said that Ethan Ampadu and Phil Jagielka could come into the starting XI, one of whom will be replacing the suspended John Egan, while ‘a change of formation’ is also something that Wilder is considering for the fixture.
In reaction to this news, fans of Leeds flocked to have their say on the matter, with many suggesting that Jagielka’s presence in the Sheffield United side could make their club’s victory a lot easier to come by.
Jagielka please.
They will absolutely leak goals.

Leeds have been involved in two cracking games in their first two Premier League fixtures this season, the first of which was a 4-3 loss against the reigning champions Liverpool, with the second being a 4-3 victory against fellow Premier League new boys Fulham.
Do you think Leeds will take all three points from the Sheffield United game?
Yes
No
And it would appear this swashbuckling approach has left many Leeds fans with a great deal of confidence ahead of their clash with United this weekend.

All in all, it would appear as if the majority of these Leeds fans are very much looking forward to their club’s fixture against Sheffield United this Sunday, with many feeling that, if Jagielka is involved for United, then they stand a great chance of leaving the match with all three points.
