Good morning!
Welcome to today’s live blog!
Leeds United will be looking to avoid an FA Cup upset this afternoon (we’ve had enough of those, haven’t we?).
United travel to West Sussex to take on Crawley Town in the third round of this year’s competition - we’ll keep you right up to date here throughout the afternoon if you’re not watching on.
Early Leeds United team news
Leeds United captain Liam Cooper has been passed fit for today’s clash.
Fellow central defender Diego Llorente is also available but it not expected to feature as Leeds manage his return from injury.
Forward Tyler Roberts is still missing while long-term absentee Robin Koch is sidelined with a knee problem.
Leeds United predicted line-up
Marcelo Bielsa is expected to make a number of changes this afternoon for the clash at Crawley.
A host of first team fringe players should feature, but the Leeds boss did concede ahead of kick-off that all players who will start will have seen game time already this season - meaning a strong line-up is expected.
YEP XI (3-3-1-3): Casilla; Cooper, Phillips, Struijk; Ayling, Shackleton, Davis; Costa, Hernandez, Poveda; Bamford.
