Marcelo Bielsa's side will be looking to put a disappointing result against Manchester United behind them last week while the Toffees defeated Southampton.

It has been 17 months since supporters watched on at full capacity and over 16 years since they took in a top flight game.

It's set to be an emotional afternoon at Elland Road for many, as the club returns to some form of normality and pays respects to those we have lost over the past year and a half.

On pitch, Bielsa's men have a job to do against Rafa Benitez' s side.
