Fixture: Leeds United vs Aston Villa
Competition: Championship
Kick-off: 17:30 (UK time)
Leeds United have named their starting eleven and substitutes to lock horns with Aston Villa at Elland Road in a Championship fixture this evening.
The Whites head into the game having lost their last two matches out of the last three, being beaten in a league game by Newcastle United and then put out of the EFL Cup by Liverpool in midweek. Boss Garry Monk will be keen for his side to build momentum again, but visitors Villa have won four of their last six and are on the rise under Steve Bruce.
In front of a packed Elland Road, Monk goes with Chris Wood up top, while the three behind the striker are Souleymane Doukara, Kemar Roofe and Hadi Sacko. Ronaldo Vieira and Kalvin Phillips will look to control midfield, while at the back, Pontus Jansson and Kyle Bartley are the central pairing. Rob Green is between the sticks.
On the bench, Monk can turn to young Tyler Denton if needed, while Alex Mowatt, Stuart Dallas and Marcus Antonsson are potential attacking options for the Whites head coach.
