Leeds United host Swansea City in the Championship this afternoon.

Leeds go with Kiko Casilla in goal once again, with Ben White and Liam Cooper as the centre backs ahead of him.

Ezgjan Alioski is given the nod at left back ahead of Barry Douglas, with Stuart Dallas again featuring at right back.

Kalvin Phillips, Mateusz Klich and Adam Forshaw form a familiar midfield, with Jack Harrison and Pablo Hernandez supporting Patrick Bamford.

That means that Eddie Nketiah is on the bench once again, as is new signing Ilan Meslier despite not even being on the bench in midweek.

Douglas, Gaetano Berardi, Alfie McCalmont, Jamie Shackleton and Helder Costa make up the rest of the Leeds bench today.

Meanwhile, Swansea are looking to keep up their own fine start to the season, and go with Newcastle loanee Freddie Woodman in goal.

Connor Roberts, Joe Rodon, Mike van der Hoorn and Jake Bidwell will form the back four for Steve Cooper today, with Jay Fulton and ex-Leeds loanee Matt Grimes in midfield.

Andre Ayew and Bersant Celina will play out wide, with Yan Dhanda operating behind lone striker Borja Baston in the Swansea attack.

Young winger Jordan Garrick is on the bench, alongside Ben Wilmot, George Byers, Kristoffer Nordfeldt, Kyle Naughton, Sam Surridge and Wayne Routledge.
