Leeds United will look to grab their third win of the Premier League season against Aston Villa this afternoon after waiting a month in between fixtures.
The month-long gap comes after the death of the Queen and circumstances around that forcing both the home game against Nottingham Forest and a trip to Old Trafford to face Manchester United to be postponed.
That was then followed up by the international break but Jesse Marsch's side would have used that time well in order to bring some players recovering from injury back to full fitness, including the likes of Patrick Bamford and Rodrigo Moreno.

After dislocating his shoulder in August, Rodrigo could make his return after positive words from Marsch in Friday's press conference. Bamford was used in the Under-21s fixture against Southampton Under-21s where the Whites took a 6-2 win after the 29-year-old scored a hattrick/
Junior Firpo was also given positive feedback by Marsch in his press conference, saying the full-back's return was a 'big boost' to the squad ahead of the Aston Villa game along with Luke Ayling and captain Liam Cooper expected to make full returns.
Cody Drameh is unlikely to play on Sunday after featuring for the Under-21 squad against Stoke City's Under-21s in their Premier League 2 Division 2 victory with Adam Forshaw and Archie Gray picking up recent injuries to their ankle and toe respectively over the international break that will see them miss this weekend's action. Stuart Dallas remains a long-term absentee.
Full Leeds United squad: Illan Meslier, Kristoffer Klaesson, Rasmus Kristensen, Robin Koch, Diego Llorente, Leo Hjelde, Pascal Struijk, Junior Firpo, Mateusz Klich, Tyler Adams, Marc Roca, Luis Sinisterra, Brenden Aaronson, Jack Harrison, Sam Greenwood, Crysencio Summerville, Rodrigo Moreno, Joe Gelhardt, Patrick Bamford, Wilfried Gnonto.
