Jesse Marsch has made two changes to his Leeds United side to take on West Ham United at Elland Road this evening. The Whites are looking for their first win since the Premier League restart and they’ll fancy their chances against the Hammers who have lost their last five in the league.
Marc Roca starts alongside Tyler Adams for the first time since the restart after being dropped on New Year’s Eve at St James’ Park. He’s struggled for form lately but he’ll be keen to impress against the Hammers and firmly re-establish his spot in the side.
The Spaniard comes into the side for Adam Forshaw, who isn’t involved in the squad at all. Elsewhere Crysencio Summerville steps into the line-up in place of Jack Harrison, who flattered to deceive at Newcastle and drops to the bench.

Summerville picked up an injury during the club’s friendly game with Elche, but he’s shaken that off now and he’ll be looking to rediscover the form he showed before the break. The head coach has stuck with Luke Ayling at right-back, resisting the urge to bring Rasmus Kristensen back in.
There’s no Max Wober, who seems set to make his debut against Cardiff City in the FA Cup on Sunday.
Leeds: Illan Meslier; Luke Ayling, Robin Koch, Liam Cooper, Pascal Struijk; Tyler Adams, Marc Roca; Crysencio Summerville, Brenden Aaronson, Wilfried Gnonto; Rodrigo.
Bench: Joel Robles, Junior Firpo, Rasmus Kristensen, Diego Llorente, Mateusz Klich, Jack Harrison, Joe Gelhardt, Sam Greenwood, Darko Gyabi
