Team news: Adam Forshaw makes starting line-up for Leicester City clash

Starting XI announced at Elland Road.

Marcelo Bielsa has made just one change to the starting line-up that will face Leicester City, with Adam Forshaw making his first Premier League start for the club this afternoon.

Forshaw replaces the injured Jamie Shackleton in the starting XI, after making a number of substitute and cup appearances so far this season.

Illan Meslier remains in goal for Leeds United, alongside captain Liam Cooper and Diego Llorente in the centre of defence with Pascal Struijk, Stuart Dallas, Kalvin Phillips and Forshaw in support.

In our attacking positions we have our two goalscorers from the win over Norwich City last weekend in Raphinha and Rodrigo, and they are joined by Jack Harrison and Daniel James.

On our substitutions bench today, goalkeeper Kristoffer Klaesson is joined by Tyler Roberts, Mateusz Klich, Lewis Bate, Leo Hjelde, Charlie Cresswell, Cody Drameh, Crysencio Summerville and Stuart McKinstry.

The club will pay its respects to the armed forces ahead of kick-off, as the players, staff and supporters dedicate a moment of silence to the servicemen and women that have fought for our country, whilst The Last Post is played live at the side of the Elland Road pitch.

Kick-off is scheduled for 2pm and for supporters that would like to follow all of the live action, you can use the Leeds United blog which can be found here.


Starting XI: Meslier, Forshaw, Cooper, Raphinha, Llorente, Dallas, Rodrigo, James, Struijk, Harrison, Phillips.

Substitutions: Klaesson, Roberts, Bate, Hjelde, Cresswell, Drameh, Summerville, McKinstry, Klich.
