In the final Premier League match of the day, Leeds United host Aston Villa at Elland Road.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

Jesse Marsch makes three changes from the side that lost 5-2 at Brentford in Gameweek 8, as Liam Cooper, Rasmus Kristensen and Rodrigo all start.

The latter returns after a shoulder injury, having scored four goals in the first five Gameweeks.

Patrick Bamford, meanwhile, is among the substitutes.

As for the visitors, Diego Carlos, Boubacar Kamara, Matty Cash and Lucas Digne are all out, which does leave the Villans somewhat short at the back.

That means Ludwig Augustinsson is handed a debut, while Douglas Luiz will screen the back four.

Budget midfielder Leon Bailey also starts alongside Philippe Coutinho and Ollie Watkins in attack.

GAMEWEEK 9 LINE-UPS

Leeds United XI: Meslier, Kristensen, Koch, Cooper, Struijk, Adams, Roca, Sinisterra, Aaronson, Harrison, Rodrigo

Subs: Klaesson, Ayling, Firpo, Llorente, Gnonto, Summerville, Klich, Bamford, Greenwood

Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Young, Konsa, Mings, Augustinsson, Luiz, Ramsey, McGinn, Bailey, Coutinho, Watkins

Subs: Olson, Bednarek, Archer, Sanson, Buendia, Bogarde, Nakamba, Dendoncker, Ings

Who played the most minutes over the March international break?

    Two clean sheets in a row for Martinez, but no save or bonus points once again. The best is yet to come.

        Wow, I didn't even realise it until now. Same here unless Maddison scores tomorrow.

    Currently got Haaland, KDB and Cancelo

    Haaland and KDB are staying for the season, the question is, after the blanks would you sacrifice Cancelo for Foden?

    City still have the best defence and not many defenders are scoring highly right now

      Yes, there are not many defenders with clean sheets right now. My current plan is to get James, Trippier, Saliba and put money up front. Foden, KDB, Sterling, Saka, Martinelli, Jesus, Haaland.

      Foden got hus hattie, but Cancelo has still more points. Next week it might be Cancelo hauling. It is between:
      A) Cancelo + 8.0 mid
      B) Foden + who?

      I still believe that A wins. Clean sheets for Cancelo are more likely than Foden scoring imo.

    Is Shaw starting over Malacia now or was he just taken off because of the booking?

    ten Hag naive not to integrate Casemiro by now. McT the only poor player that was left in the team

      Hopefully he's learned and hopefully Martial stays healthy and is the main striker going forward.

        Yes. I agree there were some overall negatives though like the press and holding onto the ball, but that they'll learn on

      I'm not sure Ten Hag is the man for the job. That first half today was absolutely shocking

      I strongly disagree with the word "only".

    How long is Sinisterra out for?

    I hate Leeds assets. Brought in Rodrigo who got injured. Replaced him with Harrison who did nothing and then brought in Sini on a WC this week.

      2x YC = 1 game suspension.

        Thanks.

        Would you hold Sini for the one game ban? I have Zouma off the bench who has Fulham at home

    Which combo is better. These moves will enable Foden

    1. Trossard & Kane
    2. Diaz & Auba

    So, who else missed capping all of Haaland's hatties so far? Makes quitting this game a bit easier when you sit and really think about it. The points lost just by not capping his hatties alone make it season ending stuff.

      I missed few hauls in earlier game weeks and learnt my lesson.
      It's not too late.

    Got two free transfers. Worth doing KDb to Foden and upgrade Andreas to Zaha? Sorts out having to play a weak 11th player every week. Team below
    Pope
    Cancello Trippier Perisic
    KDB Maddison Andreas Martinelli
    Mitrovic Kane Haaland

    Iberson N. Williams Emerson Longstagf

      I was about to do the same but changed my mind and did Gross➡️Zaha. Still Maddison can match Foden.
