@Alexjl30: Defenders in midfield again, lovely.

@Bobski1989: Need to win and Phillips is on the bench.

@Flythewhiterose: Why hasn’t he started Phillips?! I don’t care if he isn’t 100%, this is a game we have to win! You start your best players! Forshaw must be ill. Koch’s not a midfielder for me, he’s a defender. BUT saying that, impact subs when needed, Watford are a weird side. Come on Leeds!

@StephenBarrett1: Bold move leaving out Philips!

@Ollieward_: No Phillips! Massive game today let’s hope this team selection pays off!

@Oliverbutters16: Kalvin and Forshaw both fit but a CB in midfield!

@Kitchlarrr: Philips on bench but fit. Pathetic.

@Ronjide: Jesse doesn’t want to win.
