Unai Emery makes seven changes to the Aston Villa side that exited the FA Cup with a 3-1 home loss to Newcastle a week ago.
Emiliano Martinez was always going to return in goal, but Marco Bizot’s red card in that game means Villa have 21-year-old James Wright, yet to play a minute competitively for the club, as their back-up goalkeeper.
Tammy Abraham’s first goal for Villa since his £18.2m move from Besiktas is not enough to keep him in the team as Ollie Watkins starts up front.
Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Mings, Maatsen, Luiz, Onana, Rogers, Buendia, Bailey, Watkins.
Subs: Wright, Lindelof, Digne, Torres, Garcia, Bogarde, Barkley, Sancho, Abraham.
Only James Justin and Gabriel Gudmundsson remain from the 11 that began Leeds’ win over Birmingham in the FA Cup as boss Daniel Farke makes nine changes.
Top scorer Dominic Calvert-Lewin returns up front.
Leeds XI: Darlow, Bogle, Ampadu, Justin, Gudmundsson, Struijk, Rodon, Gruev, Stach, Aaronson, Calvert-Lewin.
Subs: Perri, Bornauw, Bijol, Tanaka, Longstaff, Nmecha, Gnonto, James, Piroe.
