Elland Road welcomes some Friday night football as the Premier League weekend begins
Leeds and West Ham meet at Elland Road for the curtain-raiser of Gameweek 9 in the Premier League.
The Hammers have been struggling this season, despite replacing Graham Potter with Nuno Espirito Santo.
But Leeds have not fared much better, and sit just four points above their opponents.
As a result, this could end up being a huge clash in the battle to avoid relegation, with both sides keen to pick up three crucial points.
Read on to see how both teams line-up as we build up to the clash under the lights in Yorkshire.

Leeds have made four changes from the side that lost 2-0 to Burnley last time out.
Lucas Perri starts in goal, while Jaka Bijol, Noah Okafor and Ao Tanaka come in as Karl Darlow, Pascal Struijk, Anton Stach and Jack Harrison drop to the bench.
Leeds: Perri, Bogle, Gudmundsson, Bijol, Ampadu, Longstaff, Tanaka, Aaronson, Okafor, Calvert-Lewin
