Full Leeds United squad revealed as duo look to overcome knocks for Fulham trip

Leeds United will be looking to end their London hoodoo this evening when they kick off this weekend's Premier League with a clash at Fulham.

Marcelo Bielsa is yet to experience victory in the capital and tonight locks horns again with Scott Parker, whose side has enjoyed a better run of form of late and can move out of the relegation zone with a win.

Leeds held Chelsea to a goalless draw last time out but will be looking to improve on their return of just one win in their last six matches when they make the trip to Craven Cottage.

Bielsa will again be without his skipper Liam Cooper who misses out through illness, while Pablo Hernandez has been a recent absentee with a muscular injury.

Marcelo Bielsa on Luke Ayling and Patrick Bamford

Patrick Bamford is likely to play despite being forced off against Chelsea with a hip issue, while Rodrigo is a doubt after he suffered a set-back in training this week, although Bielsa did not rule him out when he spoke in Wednesday's pre-match press conference.

Robin Koch returned to the first-team bench last weekend and got 45 minutes of under-23s football under his belt on Monday, so is also expected to travel to London. Leif Davis has a 'small articulation problem' and missed out, while Joe Gelhardt will be eyeing a return to the bench in light of Bamford and Rodrigo's recent issues.

Here is a look at the full squad available for Bielsa tonight.

Full Leeds United squad: Illan Meslier, Luke Ayling, Robin Koch, Ian Poveda, Patrick Bamford, Ezgjan Alioski, Tyler Roberts, Kiko Casilla, Diego Llorente, Stuart Dallas, Helder Costa, Raphinha, Rodrigo, Pascal Struijk, Jack Harrison, Kalvin Phillips, Gaetano Berardi, Joe Gelhardt, Mateusz Klich, Jamie Shackleton, Jack Jenkins, Niall Huggins
