Leeds United have officially announced their starting eleven and substitutes to play host to Sheffield United in a Yorkshire derby clash at Elland Road this evening.

Leeds are without defender Gaetano Berardi, who is suspended, while striker Caleb Ekuban remains sidelined with a foot injury. Cameron Borthwick-Jackson is also unavailable.
Whites boss Thomas Christiansen picks Andy Lonergan in goal, while for his centre-back pairing he chooses Matthew Pennington and Liam Cooper. Vurnon Anita slots in at left-back, while Kalvin Phillips, Eunan O'Kane and Ronaldo Vieira all play. Ezgjan Alioski and Samu Saiz operate behind Pierre-Michel Lasogga.
