- RESULT: Leeds United 1-1 Leicester City
Three or four at the back this afternoon?
Adam Forshaw has been handed a first Premier League start for the Whites this afternoon with Jamie Shackleton missing.
Full-back Junior Firpo hasn’t made the squad at all nor has youngster Joe Gelhardt.
There is, however, a spot on the bench for midfielder Lewis Bate as he is called into a matchday squad for the first time since his summer arrival from Chelsea.
Illan Meslier starts in goal for Leeds while Liam Cooper, Diego Llorente and Pascal Struijk all feature.
Stuart Dallas, Kalvin Phillips and Forshaw have been selected with wingers Dan James and Raphinha.
Rodrigo and Jack Harrison are also in the attacking line in what is assumed to be a 3-3-1-3 this afternoon - though could still be a four should one of the wingers drop back.
Kick-off approaching
We’re just awaiting the two teams at Elland Road - the stands and full and the atmosphere is building. Updates from 2pm...
Here come the teams
Leicester out first. Leeds follow behind. Pre-match duties underway... we’ll have a remembrance tribute ahead of kick-off.
Leicester attack
1. Almost danger straight from kick-off for Leeds. A loose pass is played to Vardy, he tries to play in Lookman but it’s behind him. Cooper gets a toe on the ball on the edge of the box to halt the attack.
Leeds shape
2. After much pre-match deliberation. Looks like a 3-3-1-3. Harrison and Dallas either side of Phillips.
