Leeds United vs Brentford team news confirmed as Okafor 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, Jayden Bogle returns and James Justin moves to the left, with Gabriel Gudmundsson suspended after his red card in the 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace.

Joe Rodon, Jaka Bijol and Pascal Struijk form the back three, and Karl Darlow starts a 10th consecutive Premier League match after a clean sheet at Selhurst Park.

Nmecha and Calvert-Lewin get another chance to combine after only 45 minutes together at Palace. It remains to be seen if they play as a front pair or with Nmecha and Brenden Aaronson operating wide.

Anton Stach keeps his place in midfield following his first Germany call-up in four years, with captain Ethan Ampadu in the holding role.

Noah Okafor returns from hamstring and hip issues, fit for the bench and replacing Gudmundsson in the squad. His return leaves Leeds with no injuries in the squad.

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