Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United will face Southend United this afternoon.

Leeds United will be continuing their preparation for the 2018-19 campaign by playing Southend United in a pre-season friendly this afternoon.
The Championship club have already started their pre-season preparations and have played a couple of matches as well.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side won 2-1 against Forest Green Rovers before drawing 1-1 with York City in their last two pre-season friendly games.
Leeds will be aiming to maintain this unbeaten run and get a positive result against Southend this afternoon.
This is how Leeds will line up for their pre-season friendly match against Southend this afternoon:

The performances of Leeds against Forest Green Rovers and York were not great, but they were expected.
After all, the players are just getting their full fitness back, and it does take a while for them to get their old rhythm back.
Leeds have made two signings so far in the summer transfer window, bringing in midfielder Lewis Baker and goalkeeper Jamal Blackman on loan from Chelsea.
