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

    3. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 months, 24 days ago

      Currently on A. Really considering C. WH in shambles, xG 4.05 against yesterday.

  3. F4L
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 24 days ago

    nearly rodon assist

  4. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    4 months, 24 days ago

    any chance timber misses out?

    wouldnt mind rodon bench jam

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 24 days ago

      Seems likely, since he still hasn't trained

  5. F4L
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 24 days ago

    catching up with the highlights yesterday, is anyone getting really confused what PL refs consider a clear goal scoring opportunity? like how is kilman batting the ball away with his hand from evanilson 8 yards out right in front of goal not a red lol. even worse than collins avoiding a red for his foul on mbeumo. in that case mbeumo apparently didnt have control of the ball. cant have the same excuse for evanilson who dribbled into the box

  6. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    4 months, 24 days ago

    Nice Cash shot went wide

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 24 days ago

      Watkins too, but closer this time

  7. CoracAld2831
    • 5 Years
    4 months, 24 days ago

    Sanchez (Dubravka)
    Richards-Senesi-Andersen (Rodon, Gudmonsson)
    Saka-Fernandes-Mbeumo-Minteh (Reijnders)
    Haaland - Mateta - Woltemade

    1 FT
    0,4 million in bank

    Options for this team?

    A: Free hit
    B: Woltemade to Thiago
    C: Reijnders to Anderson
    D: Roll FT
    E: Other?

    Only have FH and BB left.

  8. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    4 months, 24 days ago

    Villa should've cashed in on Watkins...

  9. JBG
    • 7 Years
    4 months, 24 days ago

    Well this probably answers my question if I should punt on a Villa player going forward. Still inconsistent

    1. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 months, 24 days ago

      Only for next GW if FH13

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 24 days ago

      Onana has been a decent sub, tbf. DCs and random xG

      And then missed out the one time I needed him

  10. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    4 months, 24 days ago

    Gudmundsson haul loading

    1. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 months, 24 days ago

      I would do anything for this

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 24 days ago

      Really hope so. Having a terrible GW thus far.

    3. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 24 days ago

      I’m on the fence with a similar side .

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        4 months, 24 days ago

        Liverpool are trash
        City all over shop
        Leeds bossing Villa

        Who knows where the points are coming from!

        Past few weeks yo-yo ing around 100k

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 months, 24 days ago

          Yep, same here. Sitting circa 50k currently but only Saka and Mbuemo to go

          1. g40steve
            • 8 Years
            4 months, 24 days ago

            Same, if this forum are on it probably better to go with crowd

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 24 days ago

      Any obvious game weeks better to FH? Looks a low scoring team

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        4 months, 24 days ago

        That’s not my FH team that’s current squad 🙂

        1. WVA
          • 9 Years
          4 months, 24 days ago

          Yes that’s what I mean, it looks like a low scoring team so might be worth free hitting!?

        2. WVA
          • 9 Years
          4 months, 24 days ago

          I have a very similar squad and will probably FH

          1. g40steve
            • 8 Years
            4 months, 24 days ago

            Cheers,

    • 13 Years
    4 months, 24 days ago

    Watkins is such a streaky player

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 24 days ago

      Streaky means he has to do something positive for a little while, like at all. Can't even do that

  17. JBG
    • 7 Years
    4 months, 24 days ago

    Villa goal incoming

    1. Bigbars

      Rogerss WHYYY

    • FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 24 days ago

      Malen impact immediately

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 months, 24 days ago

        Tidy finish that

    • z13
        4 months, 24 days ago

        It sort of hit Rogers

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          4 months, 24 days ago

          It was a great finish

          1. AC/DC AFC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            4 months, 24 days ago

            Yep

            Flicked it in

            I had the draw here but it looks like there's more goals in this game.

      • z13
          4 months, 24 days ago

          Rodon still defcon so a 4-pointer as an autosub isn't too bad

          1. lilmessipran
            • 13 Years
            4 months, 24 days ago

            Yeah there's no way he picks up a booking or Leeds concede another...min 4 points locked in.

        • F4L
          • 11 Years
          4 months, 24 days ago

          Leeds' pitch looks so heavy, the ball barely travels across the surface

        • Stimps
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 months, 24 days ago

          Rogers in on FH?

        • The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          4 months, 24 days ago
