Leeds United substitutes: Klaesson, Hjelde, Drameh, Klich, Forshaw, Greenwood, Summerville, Sinisterra, Gelhardt.

Chelsea starting XI: Mendy; James, Silva, Koulibaly; Loftus-Cheek, Jorginho, Gallagher, Cucurella; Mount, Havertz, Sterling.

Leeds United are back in action today as they host Chelsea at Elland Road.

The Whites have opened with a win and a draw, but will be gutted to have thrown a way a 2-0 lead at Southampton last week.

Jesse Marsch goes with Illan Meslier in goal today, behind a back four of Rasmus Kristensen, Robin Koch, Diego Llorente and Pascal Struijk.

Marc Roca and Tyler Adams continue in midfield, with Brenden Aaronson seemingly playing as a number 10 today.

Daniel James comes in with Patrick Bamford out, meaning he will be on one flank and Jack Harrison on the other.

Rodrigo starts up top today, and will be looking to continue his great start to the campaign.

Luis Sinisterra is among the substitutes, joining Kristoffer Klaesson, Leo Hjelde, Cody Drameh, Mateusz Klich, Adam Forshaw, Sam Greenwood, Crysencio Summerville and Joe Gelhardt.

Chelsea have Edouard Mendy in goal and it’s a back three ahead of him in Reece James, Thiago Silva and Kalidou Koulibaly.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Marc Cucurella are the wing backs today, with Conor Gallagher coming in to partner Jorginho in midfield.

It will be a fluid front three for Chelsea as Mason Mount, Kai Havertz and Raheem Sterling all feature.

Callum Hudson-Odoi and Christian Pulisic are on the bench despite questions over their futures, joining Kepa Arrizabalaga, Ethan Ampadu, Cesar Azpilicueta, Trevoh Chalobah, Ben Chilwell, Carney Chukwuemeka and Hakim Ziyech.
