Javi Gracia has made two changes to his Leeds United starting XI to take on Brighton and Hove Albion at Elland Road this afternoon. The Whites can give themselves some breathing space with a result against the in-form Seagulls and Gracia will be keen to see his side show big improvements following last Saturday’s toothless performance at Chelsea.
The return of Patrick Bamford should help on that front after the striker missed last week with a slight leg knock. He’ll lead the line for the Whites, replacing Georginio Rutter, who struggled to show his best last time out in west London.
Bamford is joined in the side by Marc Roca, who replaces Weston McKennie in the side. The American failed to impress in his last appearance and that has opened the door for Roca to return to the starting line-up.
