Many Leeds fans have taken to Twitter to discuss Marcelo Bielsa’s starting line-up against Leicester City in the Premier League.

Leeds picked up a crucial 2-1 victory in their latest Premier League outing against Norwich City at Carrow Road last Sunday, with Raphinha and Rodrigo’s goals handing the Whites a much needed three points. The result gave the impression that Marcelo Bielsa’s side may finally be ready to kickstart their season, and will now look to carry on their winning momentum when they face the Foxes at Elland Road this afternoon.

This was a low point in Leeds United's history, but how many points did they get in the 2003/04 campaign?

However, Bielsa has now made the decision to omit Joe Gelhardt from his starting XI in the vital clash against Brendan Rodgers side this afternoon.

And, after hearing about the Bielsa’s starting line-up, many Leeds fans took to Twitter to discuss the news.

What did Leeds fans have to say about it?

“Unless he’s injured this Gelhardt treatment is horrible”

“What is that”
“Bruh”
“No Firpo or Gelhardt-gutted-our left hand side could be taken apart by Leicester! Hope not-COME ON LEEDS!”
“Struijk at left back. Gelhardt not available. Harrison up front. Start praying”

@BrowneyBrowne

“Unless Gelhardt is injured why is an out-of-form Harrison going up top ahead of him? Equally, Lewis Bate is right there so play Bate in the middle & Rodrigo up top. Utter madness. Also Drameh on bench instead of starting RB? Struijk, CB, at LB when Dallas is available? Madness”

@bakerthepatrick

“This Pascal experiment is getting stupid now.”

Victory against the Foxes would lift Bielsa’s side to 14th in the league prior to the International break, before the Yorkshire outfit take on Antonio’s Conte’s Tottenham side at The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in their next outing in the league following the international break on Sunday 21st November.
