Marcelo Bielsa has named his final starting line-up for the 2020/21 season as we face West Bromwich Albion at Elland Road.

Today we bid farewell to two Leeds United fan favourites in the form of Pablo Hernandez and Gaetano Berardi, with the duo both making the team that will be welcomed by 8,000 supporters this afternoon.

Alongside Berardi in defence we have captain Liam Cooper, Luke Ayling and Gjanni Alioski, with Kiko Casilla retaining his place in net.

Kalvin Phillips starts in midfield with Stuart Dallas behind Hernandez who is joined by Jack Harrison and Raphinha, whilst Rodrigo leads the line.

Striker Patrick Bamford who has scored a total of 16 Premier League goals so far this season drops to the bench, alongside Frenchman Illan Meslier, Ian Poveda, Tyler Roberts, Pascal Struijk, Leif Davis, Jamie Shackleton, Jack Jenkins and Oliver Casey.

If Leeds United are able to get the win today, they will finish with 59 points – which is the most earned by a promoted team since the 2000/01 campaign.

Today’s game will be shown live on BT Sport and kick-off is scheduled for 4pm, for those without access you can follow the live Leeds United blog online.
