Jesse Marsch has named something close to what he feels is his strongest Leeds United side this afternoon to face Aston Villa. The Whites have the opportunity to move back into the top half of the table with three points today after going 29 days without a Premier League fixture.
Rodrigo is the headline name returning to the side this afternoon with the striker being fit enough to make his first start since dislocating his shoulder against Everton last time out at Elland Road. He gets the nod ahead of Patrick Bamford and leads the line with Brenden Aaronson, Jack Harrison and Luis Sinisterra operating behind him.
Liam Cooper also returns to the starting XI as he makes his first Premier League appearance of the campaign. The skipper replaces Diego Llorente in the side, who underperformed last time out at Brentford.
