Marcelo Bielsa confirms Leeds United's starting XI to face Everton

Marcelo Bielsa has named an unchanged starting XI for Leeds United's clash against Everton at Goodison Park.

The Whites boss has kept the faith with the same players that held Arsenal to a 0-0 draw as the club looks for their first win in four games this evening.

That means record signing Rodrigo is again on the bench, despite his bright substitute appearance against the Gunners and a further 45-minute run-our for the under-23s on Monday.

Illan Meslier therefore continues in goal, with a back-four of Luke Ayling, Robin Koch, Liam Cooper and Gjanni Alioski.

Kalvin Phillips will operate in front of them in his usual role, with Stuart Dallas and Mateusz Klich also set to feature in midfield.

Raphinha keeps his place in the attack and is set to operate on the right, with Jack Harrison on the other side and Patrick Bamford will again lead the attack. Loan man Harrison is making his 100th appearance for the Whites.

Pablo Hernandez, Jamie Shackleton and Diego Llorente all miss out again through injury.

Leeds head to Goodison Park looking for their first win for four matches that would see them comfortably move into the mid-table places.

Leeds United XI: Meslier, Ayling, Koch, Cooper, Dallas, Phillips, Alioski, Klich, Raphinha, Harrison, Bamford

Subs: Casilla, Costa, Roberts, Poveda, Rodrigo, Struijk, Davis

Everton XI: Pickford, Holgate, Keane, Godfrey, Allan, Davies, Doucoure, Iwobi, Rodriguez, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin

Subs: Lossl, Delph, Sigurdsson, Mina, Tosun, Bernard, Gomes
