Eddie Nketiah on the bench as Jack Clarke and Helder Costa start for Leeds United U23s vs Millwall

Helder Costa and Jack Clarke have been named in the starting XI for Leeds United under-23s first match of the new season.

Carlos Corberan's side host Millwall at Thorp Arch in a 1pm kick-off, with the Whites putting out a strong side.

Goalkeeper Illan Meslier makes his first appearance in a Leeds shirt following his deadline day move, with what looks to be a back-four of Robbie Gotts, Pascal Struijk, Bryce Hosannah and Gjanni Alioski.

Alfie McCalmont, Jamie Shackleton and Kun Temenuzhkov are likely to be playing centrally with an interchanging front three of Clarke, Costa and Jordan Stevens.

Arsenal loanee Eddie Nketiah is on the bench for Leeds, alongside Gaetano Berardi, Mateusz Bogusz, Kamil Miazek and Olly Casey.

Leeds' u23s' side kick off the defence of their PDL national title this afternoon following last season's superb campaign which saw a number of the club's promising youngsters make their first-team debuts.

Millwall began their campaign earlier this month when they drew 1-1 with Burnley at home.
