Leeds United take on Sunderland in the Sky Bet Championship this evening, in our second away game in just four days

Manager Daniel Farke has made one change to the starting line-up following the news of the injury to Sam Byram, with Djed Spence replacing him in the team.

Illan Meslier starts in goal for the match, with captain Pascal Struijk joined by Joe Rodon, Archie Gray and Spence in our defence.

The midfield duo of Ethan Ampadu and Glen Kamara continues, whilst goal scorers from our last outing Crysencio Summerville and Dan James, support Joel Piroe and Georginio Rutter up front.

Luke Ayling and Patrick Bamford are also back in the squad tonight and they are joined on the substitutes bench by goalkeeper Karl Darlow, Liam Cooper, Jaidon Anthony, Willy Gnonto, Illia Gruev, Joe Gelhardt, and Mateo Joseph.

Kick-off is scheduled for 8pm this evening, and for those who are not in attendance at the Stadium of Light and do not have access to the stream on Sky Sports, you can follow all of the match action live on the Leeds United blog, online here.

Starting XI: Meslier (GK), Ampadu, Piroe, Kamara, Summerville, Rodon, James, Struijk (C), Gray, Rutter, Spence.
