Team news: Marcelo names starting XI to face Burnley

Two changes made for Premier League clash.

Marcelo Bielsa has made two changes to the side that drew with Everton in our last Premier League outing, as the team take on Burnley at Turf Moor today (KO 2pm).

Diego Llorente, who played his first minutes of the season in our Carabao Cup win against Crewe Alexander earlier in the week, makes the starting line-up with Rodrigo also making his way back into the starting XI.

Illan Meslier is in net for the Whites with a strong defensive back line made up of Luke Ayling, Diego Llorente, Pascal Struijk, captain Liam Cooper and Stuart Dallas in support.

Kalvin Phillips is joined in central midfield by Rodrigo, with Jack Harrison and Raphinha on the wings and striker Patrick Bamford playing up front.

With a few first-team players missing out on today's game, the Leeds bench features a number of Under-23 stars including Crysencio Summerville, Joe Gelhardt and Charlie Creswell who join Kristoffer Klaesson, Tyler Roberts, Helder Costa, Jamie Shackleton and Adam Forshaw - who was able to make his first appearance for the first team in almost two years on Tuesday night at Elland Road.

Leeds United ran out 4-0 winners in the same fixture during the 2020/21 campaign at Turf Moor with Rodrigo netting twice after coming on as a second-half substitute.

Today’s match is scheduled to kick-off at 2pm and is being shown live on SKY Sports, for supporters without access you can follow the live Leeds United blog online.

Starting XI: Illan Meslier, Luke Ayling, Diego Llorente, Pascal Struijk, Liam Cooper, Stuart Dallas, Kalvin Phillips, Rodrigo, Jack Harrison, Raphinha, Patrick Bamford.

Substitutes: Kristoffer Klaesson, Adam Forshaw, Tyler Roberts, Helder Costa, Joe Gelhardt, Charlie Cresswell, Crysencio Summerville, Liam McCarron, Jamie Shackleton.
