The final Premier League match of the day sees Leeds United host Brentford.

Kick-off at Elland Road is at 20:00 GMT.

TEAM NEWS

Leeds’ one and only change from Gameweek 30 is an enforced one.

Jayden Bogle comes into the side in place of the suspended Gabriel Gudmundsson, who was sent off last Sunday.

James Justin presumably switches flanks and deputises at left wing-back.

As for the Bees, Keith Andrews has made two alterations from Monday’s draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

One is an expected change, with Yehor Yarmolyuk coming in for the absent Mikkel Damsgaard.

The other is more of a surprise: Ethan Pinnock replacing Dango Ouattara, who drops to the bench.

It seems to be a fitness-related call, however:

We’re assuming that Pinnock’s inclusion means Brentford are changing systems to match Leeds’ wing-back set-up.

LINE-UPS

Leeds United XI: Darlow, Bogle, Struijk, Rodon, Bijol, Justin, Ampadu, Stach, Aaronson, Nmecha, Calvert-Lewin.

Subs: Perri, Bornauw, Gruev, Longstaff, Tanaka, Gnonto, James, Okafor, Piroe.

Brentford XI: Kelleher, Kayode, Collins, Pinnock, Van den Berg, Lewis-Potter, Henderson, Jensen, Yarmolyuk, Schade, Thiago.

Subs: Valdimarsson, Nelson, Ouattara, Donovan, Furo, Bentt, Shield, Stephenson, McManus.

        It's been such a weird season. Not much consistency from anyone, jumping from one bandwagon to the next, only to see them flop. It seems the key this season has been to play your own game. Even then it rarely works.

              As far as I can research they are all practising Muslims
              Which means they have all been observing Ramadan & fasting during daylight hours for the last 30 days
              Ramadan ended on Friday
              This may have had an impact on their performance & availability .
              I've got huge respect for those football players that observe their religion .
