This afternoon’s opponents are without key man Raul Jimenez who picked up a knee injury in pre-season and misses out at Elland Road.
Lage’s side have reverted to a back four during the off-season and could pose Leeds head coach Jesse Marsch a tactical headache this afternoon.

CHANCE!
79’ Harrison beats his man on the left and curls a delightful ball onto Bamford’s head. Not much more the striker could do, good connection on it, but Sa palms away expertly.
GOOOOALLLLL BRENDEN AARONSON 2-1
Leeds go in front and it’s lovely play from the back to front. Klich slides in Bamford who squares it into the six-yard box for Aaronson to tap in. Debut goal.
69’ Klich flashes one across the six yard box which runs all the way to the far side for Struijk to chase. Somehow he keeps it in and wins a corner. Set-piece swung in but out for a goal kick.
68’ Big, big tackle inside the box. Kristensen swings a leg and gets ball, then man, as Ait-Nouri bore down on goal. Crucial.
61’ Corner Wolves. Struijk slides in to deny Gibbs-White a chance to cross. Wolves in the ascendancy since the restart.
57’ SAVE! Meslier to the rescue, tipping over Dendoncker’s goalbound header.
Struijk heads away the follow-up corner before Meslier is then called into action again saving from Gibbs-White.
