Mateusz Klich's Leeds United streak ends as Marcelo Bielsa rings in the changes at Derby County

Marcelo Bielsa has rung in the changes for Leeds United's clash at Derby County this afternoon, as his side take to the pitch as the Championship winners.

The Whites boss has made seven changes in all, with the headline being that Mateusz Klich's streak of 92 consecutive league and play-off starts has come to an end.

The Pole is on the bench at Pride Park, with just Gaetano Berardi, Ben White, Stuart Dallas and Tyler Roberts keeping their places in the starting XI.

Kiko Casilla returns in goal for the first time since his eight-match suspension, while Pascal Struijk, and Ian Poveda make their full Championship debuts.

Barry Douglas returns to the defence alongside Berardi White and Dallas, with Struijk set to operate in front of the back four.

Jamie Shackleton and Pablo Hernandez are set to operate centrally, with Poveda and Gjanni Alioski out wide.

Roberts will lead the line.

Injured trio Kalvin Phillips, Helder Costa and Adam Forshaw miss out, while the likes of Klich, Luke Ayling, Liam Cooper, Jack Harrison and Patrick Bamford are on the bench.

 Leeds' promotion to the Premier League was confirmed on Friday night when West Brom lost at Huddersfield, with the title following on Saturday afternoon. This will be Leeds' final away day in the Championship, a guard of honour expected from their hosts.

Their Championship spell will come to an end with a home clash against Charlton Athletic on Wednesday evening.

Leeds United: Casilla, Douglas, White, Berardi, Struijk, Dallas, Poveda, Shackleton, Alioski, Hernandez, Roberts

Subs: Miazek, Ayling, Cooper, Casey, Davis, Klich, Bogusz, Harrison, Bamford
