Fixture: Leeds United vs Preston North End
Competition: Championship
Kick-off: 12:00 UK time
Leeds United have named their side and substitutes to play host to Ryan Lowe’s Preston North End in the Championship this afternoon.
The Whites have seen Ipswich Town dislodged from the top two in the Championship, but it is an in-form Southampton side who have replaced them and Leeds must now look to reel Saints in.
Slipping up against Preston would be a major blow, but Leeds start as massive favourites to get the job done, not least due to their form at Elland Road, where they have yet to lose this season.
Leeds have also not lost a league game at Elland Road against Preston since 2010, when the pair played out a ten-goal thriller, which North End won 6-4.
Illan Meslier is in goal for Leeds this afternoon, while as a back four boss Daniel Farke picks Archie Gray, Joe Rodon, Ethan Ampadu and Junior Firpo.
In midfield, Farke goes with Ilia Gruev and Glen Kamara, while Crysencio Summerville, Daniel James and Georginio Rutter support Patrick Bamford.
Farke has options to turn to off the bench if he needs to shake things up and they include Joel Piroe and Joe Gelhardt.
