Leeds face Millwall on Saturday afternoon at Elland Road.

Kemar Roofe started Leeds United’s last match and failed to find the back of the net, taking his goalless tally to three games – but fans have urged Thomas Christiansen to continue to place his faith in Roofe.

The 24-year-old has scored 10 goals in 27 league and cup outings this term, but his goals have dried up which has subsequently coincided with Leeds’ lack of winning form.

It has seen fans debate on social media who should start up front, with Pierre-Michel Lasogga now available and Pawel Cibicki also more than equipped to lead the line after experience in the role with Malmo.

Leeds suffered a 1-0 loss to Neil Harris’ side last time out at the Den, and will be desperate to exact revenge on the Lions as well as ending a run of four games without a win that have included losses to Ipswich, Newport and Birmingham.

Elland Road supporters took to Twitter prior to Saturday’s game to urge Christiansen to keep Roofe in the side, as Lasogga is yet to prove to fans that he deserves to start up front.
