Daniel Farke’s side will be determined to make a strong start and prove they belong back in the top flight. There will be a focus on Dominic Calvert-Lewin, as the striker potentially makes his Leeds debut against the club he left this summer.

In midfield, Japan international Ao Tanaka looks set to play a pivotal role this season. Having arrived from Fortuna Düsseldorf last summer, he was named Leeds’ Player of the Season during their promotion campaign. He is expected to form a midfield partnership with summer signing Anton Stach.
At the back, Farke’s options are limited by injuries to Jayden Bogle and Sebastiaan Bornauw. Summer signing Jaka Bijol is suspended.
