Burnley go with Nick Pope in goal, behind a back four of Matthew Lowton, James Tarkowski, Ben Mee and ex-Leeds man Charlie Taylor.

Former Leeds striker Chris Wood leads the line alongside Ashley Barnes, with Aaron Lennon only on the bench.

Wayne Hennessey, Jack Cork, Erik Pieters, Nathan Collins, Bobby Thomas, Phil Barnsley, Jay Rodriguez and Matej Vydra are the other substitutes today.

Leeds appear to be playing a 3-3-1-3 today, starting with Illan Meslier in goal.

It’s then a back three of Diego Llorente, Pascal Struijk and Liam Cooper ahead of Meslier with Luke Ayling and Stuart Dallas at wing back.

Kalvin Phillips will be the holding midfielder, whilst Rodrigo will play behind Patrick Bamford.

Raphinha and Jack Harrison are the wingers as usual, and there are no places for Junior Firpo and Mateusz Klich in today’s squad.

It’s a youthful bench, with Charlie Cresswell, Liam McCarron, Jamie Shackleton, Crysencio Summerville, and Joe Gelhardt joining Kristoffer Klaesson, Adam Forshaw, Tyler Roberts and Helder Costa as substitutes.
