Fulham v Leeds United RECAP
Key Events

- 7.45pm kick-off
- Place in last 16 awaits the winners
- Leeds fourth bottom in Premier League. Fulham second in Championship.
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.
Shackleton and Klich...
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.
Youngsters with Whites
Dallas, Klich, Forshaw, Phillips, Cooper all at Craven Cottage. Gelhardt and Greenwood too.
Leeds team
Leeds United v Fulham: Meslier, Shackleton, Firpo, Dallas, Phillips, Cresswell, Summerville, Klich, James, Roberts, Rodrigo.
