Thomas Christiansen has plenty of decisions to make to his Leeds side, as they prepare to face Sheffield United.
Thomas Christiansen is preparing his Leeds United side for what is arguably their most important fixture of the 2017-18 season so far against Sheffield United – and fans have urged him to start midfielder Ronaldo Vieira.
Chris Wilder’s Blades currently sit four points clear of the Whites in third position, and a defeat would see a huge seven-point gap open up between the top three and the rest of the chasing pack.
A defeat for the Whites would prove costly even at this stage of the campaign, not only because Leeds’ Yorkshire rivals would take home the bragging rights ahead of a busy weekend in the Championship.
In what is a crucial fixture, Christiansen must pick his strongest side and fans believe 19-year-old powerhouse Vieira is the man to drive them towards three points at Elland Road on Friday night.
Christiansen has partnered Ireland international Eunan O’Kane and academy product Kalvin Phillips thus far, but an impressive appearance against Bristol City as well as a strong display at Leicester City has convinced fans.
Leeds fans have taken to Twitter in an attempt to convince their Spanish manager that Vieira must start against the Blades, with one fan claiming that Vieira is what the Yorkshire giants have “been lacking for a while.”
