I cannot believe fans have put Bowen into the team over Fornals. Fornals has been the outstanding player in the last few games and is at the top of his game which is completely the opposite to a tired looking Bowen. We cannot carry a player that is not 100% against a team like Leeds so I would go with this team with the exception of Fornals for Bowen.
You said it. Fornals not only in the squad, but starting.
