Leeds United are in action against Ipswich Town this evening.

Leeds United starting line-up: Peacock-Farrell; Ayling, Cooper, Berardi, Alioski; Phillips, Klich, Saiz; Harrison, Hernandez, Roofe.

Leeds United substitutes: Blackman, Pearce, Forshaw, Clarke, Baker, Dallas, Roberts.

Leeds head into the game having lost 2-1 at Blackburn Rovers on Saturday afternoon, with Marcelo Bielsa looking to bounce back from a second Championship defeat tonight.

The Whites were likely to make changes for this game, and with Pontus Jansson missing but Luke Ayling back, the defence looks a little more like it did at the start of the season.

Bailey Peacock-Farrell starts in goal, with Ayling come back in at right back, whilst Gaetano Berardi shifts inside to play alongside Liam Cooper at centre back, with Ezgjan Alioski pushed back to left back in the continued absence of Barry Douglas.

Kalvin Phillips will sit in front of the back four, and is joined in a familiar midfield trio by Mateusz Klich and Samu Saiz, with the latter keeping his place despite criticism of recent displays.

Jack Harrison is handed a start out wide, as is Pablo Hernandez, with the duo called upon to support lone striker Kemar Roofe, who keeps his place but moves up top having played out wide against Blackburn.

That means that Tyler Roberts is only on the bench, alongside Jamal Blackman, Tom Pearce, Adam Forshaw, Jack Clarke, Lewis Baker and Stuart Dallas.
