Leeds United are back in Premier League action this weekend, as they take on Chelsea away from home.

Following the win over Southampton in our last league outing, head coach Javi Gracia has made two changes to the starting line-up, with Crysencio Summerville and Georginio Rutter replacing Willy Gnonto and Patrick Bamford, with Bamford out of the squad this afternoon.

Goalkeeper Illan Meslier remains in net for the clash, with his defence made up of captain Luke Ayling, Robin Koch, Max Wober and Junior Firpo.

Weston McKennie and Tyler Adams continue their link-up in the midfield, whilst Summerville is joined by Jack Harrison on the wings. Brenden Aaronson joins Rutter up front for the Whites, with the latter set to make his first Premier League start for the club.

Our substitutes bench sees the return of Pascal Struijk after his head injury during the Manchester United clash, and he features alongside goalie Joel Robles, Willy Gnonto, Marc Roca, Rasmus Kristensen, Sam Greenwood, Darko Gyabi, Mateo Joseph and Archie Gray.

Today’s match will kick-off at 3pm, and for those not in attendance at Stamford Bridge, you can follow the live Leeds United blog online here.

Starting XI: Meslier (GK), Ayling (C), Firpo, Koch, Aaronson, Summerville, Harrison, Adams, Rutter, McKennie, Wober.

Substitutes: Robles (GK), Roca, Gyabi, Struijk, Kristensen, Gnonto, Greenwood, Joseph, Gray.
