Leeds United face Aston Villa in the first of two Premier League matches to take place on Sunday.

Daniel Farke is under a bit of pressure at Leeds after a run of four defeats in five, but they have played their best football on home turf this season.

As for Villa, a win here would help propel Unai Emery’s side into the top four.

Kick-off at Elland Road is at 14:00 GMT.

TEAM NEWS

Farke makes just one change to the team that lost to Nottingham Forest prior to the international break.

Pascal Struijk comes into the starting XI, as Jaka Bijol drops to the bench.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is once again named among the substitutes, but Jack Harrison is absent from the matchday squad

There’s just one alteration for Aston Villa, too.

Amadou Onana misses out due to injury, with Youri Tielemans replacing him in the engine room.

Ezri Konsa starts despite dropping out of the England squad with calf tightness.

LINE-UPS

Leeds United XI: Perri, Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Gudmundsson, Ampadu, Longstaff, Stach, Aaronson, Okafor, Nmecaha

Subs: Darlow, Justin, Bijol, Gruev, Tanaka, Gnonto, James, Piroe, Calvert-Lewin

Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Pau, Digne, Kamara, Tielemans, McGinn, Rogers, Buendia, Watkins

Subs: Bizot, Lindelof, Bogarde, Barkley, Maatsen, Hemmings, Malen, Sancho, Guessand

    Anyone know the latest on Semenyo? Do you think he’s back for Sunderland? Had 9 point Elliot Anderson as 2nd sub for semenyo. Was hoping kudos wouldn’t play

      I'd expect a couple of weeks at the least, you dont risk re-occurence by rushing that. I'm in similar boat, Elliot anderson 9 points on my 1st sub, potts was supposedly ruled out, then plays and gets 1. Maybe Bruno may be missing tomorrow.. unlikely i know.
      Now's the time to fine tune the benches as injury and rotation starts to play havoc with squads.

        Oh I’d expected him back next week, damn, need to angle towards Saka potentially so. Don’t think I can find the liquidation in 2 FTs though.

          Ya I actually got Rogers for Kudus this week. Unsure as to who to get for Semenyo. Kinda wish I went with my gut and just got rid a few weeks back now with the way things have worked out.

          Also still have Reijnders and Gakpo issues to sort

              Ya, and I had him in for an early ish WC I think it was, did nothing for a few weeks, then chipped away for a few weeks when the other bandwagons died off a bit.

              Probably worth giving him a few more weeks given the fixtures alright. Hope he doesn’t start getting benched again though.

          Might be more inclined to FH that actually with all the Palace and Arsenal, Enzo and Reijnders.

          There’s a risk FH all these players out completely backfires. It’s not as if either Chelsea or United have been so assured defensively
