Leeds United’s predicted line up at Craven Cottage

Klichy on Fulham and an overdue Leeds United cup run

Junior Firpo and Rodrigo...

Have both posted on social media about tonight’s game so it looks safe to assume they are involved and highly likely starting.

Are two players not in the predicted XI shown below but there must be a strong chance of Shackleton starting, possibly instead of Drameh who could be on the bench. The centre midfield will surely be two from three out of Phillips, Forshaw and Klich unless Dallas starts. Forshaw at CDM and Klich in centre midfield might be a good shout, allowing a rest for Phillips.
