Leeds United vs Brentford team news: Okafor back on bench, Nmecha and Calvert-Lewin start | OneFootball

Leeds United have confirmed their line-up to face Brentford at Elland Road, with Lukas Nmecha and Dominic Calvert-Lewin both starting.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, this is the final of Saturday afternoon's four Premier League fixtures. Leeds are also the first of four relegation rivals to play before West Ham, Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, with the latter pair meeting.

Leeds drew 0-0 at Crystal Palace last time out after Gabriel Gudmundsson was dismissed in first-half added time. He is suspended tonight, so Jayden Bogle returns and James Justin shifts to the left. Joe Rodon, Jaka Bijol and Pascal Struijk form the back three, with Karl Darlow in goal for a 10th straight Premier League game after a clean sheet at Selhurst Park.

There are no injuries in the squad and Noah Okafor has recovered from hamstring and hip issues. He is fit enough only for the bench and replaces Gudmundsson in the squad.

Anton Stach keeps his spot after his first Germany call-up in four years, with captain Ethan Ampadu in the holding role. It remains to be seen whether Nmecha partners Calvert-Lewin through the middle or operates wide with Brenden Aaronson as at Palace.

Starting XI: Darlow, Rodon, Bijol, Struijk, Bogle, Ampadu, Stach, Justin, Aaronson, Nmecha, Calvert-Lewin. Subs: Perri, Bornauw, Gruev, Tanaka, Longstaff, Gnonto, James, Okafor, Piroe.
