Fixture: Leeds United vs Preston North End
Competition: EFL Cup
Kick-off: 19:45 (UK time)

Leeds United have officially named their starting line-up and substitutes to play host to Preston North End in an EFL Cup tie this evening at Elland Road.

Marcelo Bielsa's men continued their good form at the weekend when they made short work of Norwich City, running out 3-0 winners in the Championship game.




After seeing off Bolton Wanderers in the last round, Bielsa will now be looking for Leeds to go a step further.

Bielsa names Jamal Blackman in goal, while in defence he selects Conor Shaughnessy and Pontus Jansson as the central pairing, Tom Pearce and Jamie Shackleton also play. Kalvin Phillips slots into midfield, while Jack Harrison, Stuart Dallas and Tyler Roberts support Patrick Bamford.

If the Leeds manager needs to make changes he can look to his bench, where options include Kemar Roofe and Ezgjan Alioski.
