Leeds United will be hoping for just a second win of 2018 as they host Yorkshire rivals Sheffield Wednesday at Elland Road this afternoon.

Gaetano Berardi, Matthew Pennington, Pontus Jansson and Tom Pearce make up the back four in front of him, whilst Eunan O’Kane partners Adam Forshaw in the heart of midfield.
Caleb Ekuban is given the nod to start up front, and will be supported by the trio of Ezgjan Alioski, Pablo Hernandez and Stuart Dallas, with Pierre-Michel Lasogga only on the bench.
Jay-Roy Grot is also named as a substitute this afternoon, alongside Felix Wiedwald, Vurnon Anita, Kalvin Phillips, Ronald Vieira and Hadi Sacko.
Meanwhile, Wednesday again line up with a back five under Jos Luhukay, with Jack Hunt, Federico Venancio, Tom Lees, Daniel Pudil and George Boyd in front of goalkeeper Joe Wildsmith.
Joel Pelupessy joins Sam Hutchinson and Adam Reach in midfield, with Atdhe Nuhiu and Lucas Joao leading the line in attack, as Jordan Rhodes is only on the bench.
Cameron Dawson, David Jones, Morgan Fox, Jacob Butterfield, Barry Bannan and Liam Palmer are also named as substitutes for the Owls today.
