    All eyes on the Leeds teamsheet are looking for two names: Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha.

    Neither player is in Marcelo Bielsa's starting XI, nor on the bench.

    England midfielder Phillips missed the international fixtures with a calf injury, while Raphinha starred for Brazil in their 4-1 win over Uruguay only 36 hours or so ago.

    One other name missing from the win against Watford is left-back Junior Firpo, as attacking midfielder Tyler Roberts, winger Jack Harrison and defender Pascal Struijk come in.

    Leicester v Man Utd (15:00 BST)

    John Acres
    BBC 5 Live reporter at King Power Stadium

    Spoken to some people at Leicester, and they say they could have sold this game twice over. They think it's the Ronaldo effect.

    Fans outside the ground tell me they're convinced they'll concede with almost the entire defence from last season out injured, but they feel they'll have some joy going forward, especially with vardy bang in form, and United without defenders themselves.

    There's a bigger crowd outside the players' entrance than I've ever seen at the King Power. Lots of girls and boys eager for a glimpse of Ronaldo.
