Leeds United take on fellow Premier League side Everton this afternoon (KO 3pm) in our first home fixture of the 2021/22 season.

Following defeat at Old Trafford, Marcelo has made two changes to the starting line-up with Kalvin Phillips returning to the fold and Junior Firpo making his first competitive start for the club.

Illan Meslier starts in goal for Leeds United, with Luke Ayling, Pascal Struijk, captain Liam Cooper and Junior Firpo supporting the shot-stopper in defence.

Kalvin Phillips is joined by Stuart Dallas and Mateusz Klich in the midfield with Raphinha and Jack Harrison on the wings and striker Patrick Bamford up front.

Rodrigo features on the bench alongside goalkeeper Kristoffer Klaesson, Adam Forshaw, Tyler Roberts, Helder Costa, Jamie Shackleton, Charlie Cresswell, Cody Drameh and Crysencio Summerville.

The points were shared between the two sides during the 2020/21 campaign, with Leeds United taking all three points at Goodison Park earlier in the season and The Toffees returning the favour at Elland Road.

Today's match will kick-off at 3pm and you can follow all live updates from the game on the Leeds United blog.
