Leeds United host Rotherham United in the Championship this afternoon…
Leeds United starting line-up: Green; Ayling, Jansson, Bartley, Berardi; Bridcutt; Sacko, Hernandez, Roofe, Doukara; Wood.
Leeds United substitutes: Silvestri, Denton, Cooper, Phillips, Vieira, Dallas, Antonsson
Rotherham United starting line-up: Price; Fisher, Broadfoot, Belaid, Mattock; Forde, Adeyemi, Frecklington, Newell; Brown; Ward.

Hosts Leeds head into the game having drawn 1-1 with Aston Villa last time out, with Jonathan Kodjia’s late penalty cancelling out Pontus Jansson’s opener.
The draw did keep Leeds’ unbeaten run going, and they’ll be hoping to claim a win at Elland Road having played two away games over the festive period.
Today, manager Garry Monk is able to recall Kyle Bartley to his defence having missed the trip to Aston Villa, and he replaces Liam Cooper at centre back.
Pablo Hernandez is handed a start in an attacking side, which also features Souleymane Doukara, Kemar Roofe, Hadi Sacko and Chris Wood, in what could be a 4-1-4-1.
Gaetano Berardi continues at left back with no place in the squad for Charlie Taylor, whilst the likes of Kalvin Phillips, Ronaldo Vieira, Stuart Dallas and Marcus Antonsson are all on the bench.
Meanwhile, Rotherham head into the game having been beaten 2-1 by Burton Albion in their last outing, and sit bottom of the table, 11 points adrift of safety.
Today, manager Paul Warne has handed a start to former Leeds midfielder Tom Adeyemi, with ex-Leeds youngster Danny Ward leading the attack.
The likes of Kirk Broadfoot, Joe Mattock, Lee Frecklington and Izzy Brown all start, with veteran attackers Peter Odemwingie – who was sent off against Leeds last month – and Dexter Blackstock on the bench.
