Leeds United boss Daniel Farke has picked his starting eleven and substitutes to welcome Watford to Elland Road in the Championship this afternoon.

 

The Whites were in midweek action away at Hull City and despite seeing Joe Rodon sent off managed to come away with a point.

 

 

 

Farke, who is keen to make Elland Road into a fortress, will now want all three points collecting against Watford.

 

Watford, who drew 2-2 against West Brom in midweek, last met Leeds in the Premier League in the 2021/22 season, with the Whites beating them both home and away.

 

 

Illan Meslier continues to hold his spot between the sticks for Leeds, while in defence Sam Byram, Pascal Struijk, Liam Cooper and Jamie Shackleton line up.

 

Ethan Ampadu slots into midfield with Glen Kamara, while further up the pitch Daniel James, Crysencio Summerville and Joel Piroe support Georginio Rutter.

 

 

Farke has options on the bench if changes are needed, including Luke Ayling and Joe Gelhardt.
