Sam Allardyce has made one change to his Leeds United line-up to face Tottenham Hotspur on the final day of the Premier League season. The Whites know the odds are stacked against them, but they can avoid relegation to the Championship should they beat Spurs and other results go their way in the top flight.
There’s no Patrick Bamford, who picked up a hamstring injury last week at West Ham United. Allardyce didn’t rule the striker out when he spoke to the press earlier in the week but it seems he hasn’t recovered quickly enough to be involved against the north Londoners.
That means Rodrigo, who has had own injury to get over this week, starts up front, how Leeds will line up behind, though, is unknown. Adam Forshaw, Robin Koch and Weston McKennie have kept their spots while it seems Max Wober could be moved into the middle, too.

There are changes at the back with Liam Cooper stepping in to skipper the side. Allardyce will no doubt be hoping his experience can help the Whites over the line.
Junior Firpo is available after serving a one-match suspension last weekend but the left-back must make do with a bench spot, with Pascal Struijk and Rasmus Kristensen keeping their spots.
Leeds United: Joel Robles; Luke Ayling, Rasmus Kristensen Liam Cooper, Pascal Struijk; Max Wober, Robin Koch, Adam Forshaw, Weston McKennie; Jack Harrison, Rodrigo,
Bench: Illan Meslier, Junior Firpo, Jeremiah Mullen, Marc Roca, Sam Greenwood, Crysencio Summerville, Georginio Rutter, Brenden Aaronson, Wilfried Gnonto.
