Leeds United have announced their starting line-up and substitutes to play host to Ralph Hasenhuttl’s Southampton side in the Premier League this afternoon.
New boss Jesse Marsch has managed to guide Leeds to two wins in their last two games to ease worries of relegation and he will be looking for a third victory in a row today.
Leeds are without striker Patrick Bamford, who picked up an injury against Wolves, and could miss the rest of the campaign as a result.
Southampton beat Leeds 1-0 in the earlier fixture between the two teams this season.
Marsch starts Illan Meslier in goal for Leeds, while Luke Ayling and Stuart Dallas operate as full-backs. In the centre of defence Liam Cooper slots in alongside Diego Llorente.
In midfield, the Leeds boss goes with Adam Forshaw and Mateusz Klich, while further up the pitch Daniel James, Jack Harrison and Raphinha are all selected. Rodrigo also starts.
Marsch has options on the bench to shake things up if needed, including Kalvin Phillips and Sam Greenwood.

Meslier, Ayling, Cooper, Llorente, Dallas, Forshaw, Klich, Harrison, James, Raphinha, Rodrigo
Substitutes: Klaesson, Koch, Struijk, Cresswell, Phillips, Kenneh, Summerville, Greenwood, Gelhardt
