Jesse Marsch has made two changes to the Leeds United starting line-up as we take on Southampton at Elland Road following our win over Wolverhampton Wanderers and the recent international break.

Captain Liam Cooper returns to the side after four months out through injury, whilst Raphinha is also back in the squad replacing Pascal Struijk and Patrick Bamford in the team.

Cooper is joined by Diego Llorente at centre-back, who has recovered from the injury he picked up during our last outing, with Luke Ayling and Stuart Dallas completing the backline ahead of goalkeeper Illan Meslier - who also makes it back for the Premier League clash.

Adam Forshaw and Mateusz Klich cover the midfield area, as Jack Harrison, Raphinha, Dan James and Rodrigo start in attack for the Whites.

Kalvin Phillips features on today’s bench and he is joined by Robin Koch, Pascal Struijk, Joe Gelhardt, Charlie Cresswell, Crysencio Summerville, Sam Greenwood and Nohan Kenneh.

Patrick Bamford remains out of the side as he recovers from a foot injury, as Junior Firpo, Tyler Roberts, Leo Hjelde and Jamie Shackleton also continue with their recoveries.

This afternoon’s match will kick-off at 3pm on home turf, for those not in attendance you can follow the live Leeds United blog online, here.
