Joel Robles starts in net and playing ahead of him in the defence is Rasmus Kristensen, Diego Llorente, Pascal Struijk – who is captain for today’s clash - and Junior Firpo.

The substitutes bench this afternoon features goalkeeper Kristoffer Klaesson, Luke Ayling, Marc Roca, Jack Harrison, Rodrigo, Sonny Perkins, Cody Drameh, Mateo Joseph and our brand-new signing, Max Wober.

Kick-off is scheduled for 2pm today and the game will be shown live on ITV. For those who are not in attendance in Cardiff, and unable to watch the match, you can follow the live Leeds United blog here.
