Leeds United team vs Brentford confirmed as Daniel Farke makes big Harry Wilson decision | OneFootball

Daniel Farke has confirmed Leeds United’s line-up to face Brentford at Elland Road, with summer signing Harry Wilson named on the bench and Noah Okafor handed his first Premier League start of the season. It is the Whites’ first home league game of 2026/27.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Farke has largely reverted to the side that beat Nottingham Forest in the league, making one change. Both teams arrive in form, Leeds having twice beaten Forest in league and cup, while Brentford won 3-0 at home to Tottenham Hotspur then 6-1 against Birmingham City in the Carabao Cup.

In defence, Jaka Bijol returns for Nico Elvedi and is set to start between Joe Rodon and Tarik Muharemovic, with James Trafford aiming for a third successive clean sheet in goal.

Jayden Bogle lines up at right wing-back and James Justin, a scorer in midweek, operates on the left. Ethan Ampadu captains alongside Anton Stach in central midfield.

Further forward, Brenden Aaronson switches to the right and Okafor is on the other flank, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin leading the line. Wilson must wait for his competitive Elland Road debut.

New goalkeeper Michael Zetterer was not registered in time to play, and with Lucas Perri joining Torino, Alex Cairns provides back-up. He is joined on the bench by Wilson and the returning Gabriel Gudmundsson.
