Leeds United have rung the changes for Friday’s Championship clash against Sheffield United against Elland Road.

Manager Thomas Christiansen has made nine alterations to the team that were eliminated from the League Cup by Leicester City on Tuesday night.

Full-back Vurnon Anita and central midfielder Kalvin Phillips are the only survivors from the side that Christiansen selected for the 3-1 defeat at the King Power Stadium.

Christiansen has reverted to the team that brushed aside Bristol City in the league last weekend.

The only change is Anita has come in at left-back to replace Gaetano Berardi, who is suspended for a headbutt from last weekend.

Leeds United Yorkshire rivals Sheffield United hoping to close the gap on their rivals to just a point.

The Blades, who are third in the table, will go top with victory at Elland Road.

Chris Wilder’s side have had plenty of time to prepare for the game, with their last match being a 2-1 win over Reading last Saturday at Bramall Lane.
