HUGE DECISION: Confirmed Leeds XI to face Sheffield United as Brenden Aaronson decision made, £10.5m man keeps place

Leeds United are gearing up for a thrilling Yorkshire derby against Sheffield United as they return to Championship action. Daniel Farke has revealed his starting line-up, with the Whites aiming to be the first team to defeat Sheffield United in the league this season.

Despite facing challenges in preparation with a limited squad due to international duties, Leeds are determined to secure a victory and overtake Sheffield United in the top two positions.

Illan Meslier, who made headlines for the wrong reasons in the previous game, retains his spot as the number one goalkeeper. The defense consists of Jayden Bogle, Joe Rodon, Pascal Struijk, and Junior Firpo, with Bogle facing his former club for the first time since leaving in the summer.

In midfield, Ao Tanaka and Joe Rothwell form the partnership, with Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev sidelined. Brenden Aaronson overcomes doubts to secure his place in the starting XI, while Joel Piroe leads the attack after impressing in his previous start.

The bench sees the return of Manor Solomon and Dan James, providing Farke with more options to change the game if needed. Patrick Bamford, Sam Byram, Karl Darlow, and Isaac Schmidt also offer valuable backup on the bench.
