Leeds United take on Brentford at Elland Road
Leeds United take on Brentford at Elland Road
Leeds United are back on home soil for the first time this season, and Elland Road is set to be back at full capacity.
While the West Stand was closed during pre-season, club chairman Paraag Marathe has been keen to ensure the whole stadium is open for the regular campaign despite the expansion works.
Three and maybe four players will earn their competitive Elland Road debuts this afternoon, including James Trafford, Tarik Muharemovic and Harry Wilson. Nico Elvedi could also come on at some stage, though is expected to start on the bench.
Brentford will be a stern test - they have scored nine goals in their last two games and 20 in their last four when counting friendlies. But Leeds will be feeling confident themselves after their double wins over Nottingham Forest over the past week.

Welcome along
Home, sweet home. There's nothing like it. Yes there's work going on outside and there are new seats in the dugout but everything else smells faimilar.
The South Stand in fine voice, the pitch looking immaculate, Marching On Together blasted around the terraces.
A win would do nicely and Leeds will be confident after their double over Nottingham Forest. However, this is a stern test today.
Brentford have scored nine goals in their two games so far and 20 in their last four. If Leeds are leaping, the Bees are buzzing.
So a draw today would be no shame. A loss would be but it may spark the board into securing a signing or two in the final days of the window. After today, just two days remain.
