Fixture: Leeds United vs Huddersfield Town
Competition: Championship
Kick-off: 15:00 (UK time)

Leeds United have confirmed their starting line-up and substitutes to host Huddersfield Town in a Yorkshire derby this afternoon, as the two sides battle for three Championship points.

The Whites have had a poor start to the campaign and have won only one of their opening five league fixtures, in sharp contrast to Huddersfield, who arrive at Elland Road as table toppers.




Leeds boss Garry Monk will be keen to turn the tables today and to do so he goes with Chris Wood in attack, along with Marcus Antonsson. Hadi Sacko will look to supply the service, while Alex Mowatt is another threat from midfield. Captain Liam Bridcutt plays and looks to protect the back four, which contains new signing Pontus Jansson at centre-back, alongside Kyle Bartley.

Monk can turn to Kemar Roofe off the bench if he needs to introduce another attacking option, while Pablo Hernandez and Ronaldo Vieira are also amongst the substitutes.
