Leeds United will be looking to maintain their good run of form this afternoon when they take on Rotherham United at home in the Championship.

The Whites will head into the match against Rotherham at Elland Road on the back of a 2-1 home against Bolton Wanderers in the Carabao Cup.

It was the West Yorkshire outfit’s third successive win all competitions following victories over Stoke City and Derby County in the Championship.

Leeds are overwhelming favourites for the match against Rotherham at Elland Road this afternoon, and this is how Marcelo Bielsa’s side will line up:

As the above lineup show, Leeds are unchanged from the team that won against Stoke and Derby in the Championship.

Interestingly, Pontus Jansson is on the substitutes’ bench – he started against Bolton in the cup – and maybe the Sweden international central defender will get some minutes this afternoon.

The 27-year-old centre-back, who is hugely popular among the Elland Road faithful, came late from the World Cup in Russia, as Sweden reached the quarter-finals of the competition.
