Team news: Leeds United make three changes for Brighton clash
Marcelo Bielsa has made three changes for our match this evening at the American Express Community Stadium as we face Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League.
Raphinha and Rodrigo both feature after missing out against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, replacing Joe Gelhardt and Mateusz Klich in the starting line-up, whilst Junior Firpo replaces Pascal Struijk in the Leeds United backline.
Illan Meslier starts in goal for the Whites with captain Liam Cooper, Diego Llorente and Stuart Dallas joining Firpo in defence. Kalvin Phillips is joined by Adam Forshaw in the midfield with Jack Harrison, Raphinha, Rodrigo and Daniel James, who scored his first Premier League goal for the club on Sunday, all in attacking positions.
On the bench tonight Kristoffer Klaesson is joined by Tyler Roberts, Mateusz Klich, Pascal Struijk, Jamie Shackleton, Joe Gelhardt, Charlie Cresswell, Liam McCarron and Jack Jenkins.
The fixture this evening is dedicated to Stonewall’s annual Rainbow Laces campaign, with branding visible around the stadium in support of the occasion, whilst both captain’s will also be wearing a rainbow armband and players will be donning special pin badges on arrival into the stadium.
Tonight’s game is scheduled to kick-off at 5.30pm and is being shown live on Sky Sports, for those without access you can follow the action live on the Leeds United blog here.
