Leeds United fans on social networking site Twitter want Tom Pearce to start against Aston Villa at Villa Park.

The West Yorkshire outfit will return to action on Friday evening when they take on Villa away from home in the Championship.

The Whites will head into the match against the Villans on the back of a 3-1 defeat to Preston North End away from home at Deepdale in the league.

Paul Heckingbottom’s side are in a bad run of form at the moment and desperately need a win in order to appease the fans and stand a chance of ending the season on a positive note.

Villa, though, are aiming to finish in the top two of the Championship this season and will be favourites to win Friday evening’s game.

Leeds fans want head coach Heckingbottom to include Pearce in the starting lineup against Villa.

The 19-year-old left-back is a hugely promising player who has made one appearance in the Championship for Leeds so far this season.
