Aston Villa entered the season brimming with confidence, but so far, the season has been a disappointment. They now sit 15th on the EPL table, a little too close to relegation zone for comfort. Manager Steven Gerrard must be feeling the pressure, as supporters wonder if the Liverpool legend can turn the club into top contenders.
Still, last week's win over Southampton and a previous draw against Manchester City may reinvigorate the team. While they're 0-4 in their last road matches, Villa has won two in a row at Elland Road. That's the good news. The bad news is their inconsistent play and injuries in some key positions, particularly in the back field and Boubacar Kamara in mid-field.
Leeds sits higher on the table, in decent 11th position, but they're coming off a three-match winless streak. Worse, their last outing was a 2-5 bruising by Brentford. Perhaps Jesse Marsch will take some of the fire that send him off with a red card and rally his side. The players will also be a bit rusty, after not competing for a month due to postponements.
Being at Elland Road will surely help; they've won three of four home confrontations. Plus, Luke Ayling, Liam Cooper and Junior Firpo are expected to be available again.
Today's lineups are:
Leeds (Formation 4-2-3-1): 1 Meslier, 25 Kristensen, 5 Koch, 6 Cooper, 21 Struijk, 12 Adams, 8 Roca, 23 Sinisterra, 7 Aaronson, 11 Harrison, 19 Rodrigo
Aston Villa (Formation 4-3-3): 1 Martínez, 18 Young, 4 Konsa, 5 Mings, 17 Augustinsson, 41 J Ramsey, 6 Douglas Luiz, 7 McGinn, 31 Bailey, 11 Watkins, 23 Coutinho
