Fixture: Leeds United vs Rotherham United
Competition: Championship
Kick-off: 15:00 UK time

 

Leeds United have named their side and substitutes to welcome Yorkshire rivals Rotherham United to Elland Road in the Championship this afternoon.

 

Daniel Farke’s men have won their last five Championship games to sit just a point behind second placed Southampton, though Saints do have a game in hand.

 

 

 

 

Today’s opponents Rotherham arrive at Elland Road sitting rock bottom of the table and having won just three of their 29 league games.

 

Rotherham’s last win at Leeds came back in 2015, when they grabbed a 1-0 victory in a game which had two players sent off.

 

 

Illan Meslier is in goal for Leeds this afternoon, while as a back four Farke goes with Archie Gray, Joe Rodon, Ethan Ampadu and Junior Firpo.

 

The engine room sees Farke pick Ilia Gruev and Glen Kamara, while carrying the attacking threat in the final third are Crysencio Summerville, Willy Gnonto and Georginio Rutter, who support Patrick Bamford.

 

 

If Farke needs to shake things up he can look to his bench, where his options include Joel Piroe and new boy Connor Roberts.
