Leeds United host old rivals Chelsea for their third fixture of the Premier League season.

Jesse Marsch’s first fresh campaign as United boss has got off to a positive start, as the signings brought in to strengthen the Whites squad have gelled with the old guard to produce an unbeaten start to the season.

Leeds were disappointed to throw away a two-goal lead to draw at Southampton last weekend, but the four-point haul the West Yorkshire side have taken from their first two games leaves them in sixth place.

'Cause some havoc': Leeds United boss on Thomas Tuchel puzzlement, rivalry and b...

Chelsea have matched the Whites’ form, claiming a 1-0 win over Everton on the opening day before surrendering their own lead to tie with Tottenham Hotspur at home last Sunday.

Thomas Tuchel will be without key player N’Golo Kanté, who hobbled off with a thigh issue at the end of the Spurs game, while Mateo Kovačić and Armando Broja are also set to miss out.

Marsch, meanwhile, could call upon Joe Gelhardt again after the young striker was absent from St Mary’s with a dead leg, though Patrick Bamford is likely to be counted out with a groin injury, joining Junior Firpo, Luke Ayling, Liam Cooper and Stuart Dallas on the list of absentees.

Koulibaly is dismissed by referee Stuart Attwell as he obstructs Gelhardt as the youngster has a clear sight of goal.

Tributes to the Whites manager ring out across the ground.

With eight minutes left to play, Marsch makes a triple sub - Aaronson, Rodrigo and Harrison make way for Gelhardt, Greenwood and Klich.

Ziyech sees his chance from 20 yards and hits it hard - into Kai Havertz.

Leeds fans are enjoying themselves

Big cheer goes up as Koulibaly sends a ball far too long for James to reach.

Ben Chilwell replaces Mason Mount.

Struijk is down again

The medical team are on giving treatment. Meanwhile, Adams and Harrison are taking instructions from Marsch, while Aaronson is listening to one of his staff.

Aaronson flexing his pace today

The American has absolutely belted it upfield to keep in what looks like a lost cause. He keeps the ball from going off but Koulibaly dispossesses him. Can’t fault the workrate of the Whites’ record signing.

Once again, it’s almost painfully loud inside Elland Road.
