Liam Cooper and Kalvin Phillips both start for Leeds United as part of a strong Whites side for the first of two pre-season friendlies against Ajax today.

Leeds are taking in two games against Ajax in Amsterdam, starting with a 1pm kick-off at the Sportpark De Toekomst which was billed as a clash of the United and Ajax under-23s sides.

Youngsters such as Kris Moore, Cody Drameh, Nohan Kenneh and Sam Greenwood start for Leeds but the XI also features first team players Phillips, Cooper, Helder Costa, Tyler Roberts, Ian Poveda and the returning Adam Forshaw.
