Fixture: Leeds United vs Ipswich Town
Competition: Championship
Kick-off: 15:00 (UK time)

Leeds United have confirmed their starting side and substitutes to play host to Mick McCarthy's Ipswich Town side at Elland Road in a Championship fixture this afternoon.

The Whites suffered their first loss of the season last weekend when going down at Millwall, but the defeat did not cost the side top spot in the Championship standings.




Leeds are only without striker Caleb Ekuban, while Pontus Jansson is also not in the matchday squad despite boss Thomas Christiansen saying earlier this week Ekuban was the only absentee.

Whites head coach Christiansen has Felix Wiedwald in goal, while at the back he plumps for Liam Cooper and Connor Shaughnessy as the centre-back pairing. Eunan O'Kane slots into midfield alongside Kalvin Phillips, with Ezgjan Alioski, Pablo Hernandez and Samu Saiz behind Pierre-Michel Lasogga.

If Christiansen needs to make any changes during the course of the 90 minutes then he can look to his bench where there are several options, including Stuart Dallas and Kemar Roofe.
