Jesse Marsch has named an unchanged Leeds United side to face Bournemouth this afternoon at Elland Road. The Whites picked up a huge win last time out against Liverpool and they’ll be keen to build on that by seeing off the Cherries, who have lost their last three in the Premier League.
Crysencio Summerville keeps his spot in the side following his Anfield heroics. The 21-year-old bagged the winner against the Reds and with Luis Sinisterra ruled out with a foot complaint, he’s the obvious choice on the wing.
This afternoon’s game is Summerville’s first Premier League start at Elland Road and he’ll be flying high in confidence, of that there is no doubt. Rodrigo starts for the Whites up front after bagging his sixth goal last time out.

Leeds United: Illan Meslier; Rasmus Kristensen, Liam Cooper, Robin Koch, Pascal Struijk; Marc Roca, Tyler Adams; Crysencio Summerville, Brenden Aaronson, Jack Harrison; Rodrigo.
Bench: Kristoffer Klaesson, Luke Ayling, Diego Llorente, Junior Firpo, Sam Greenwood, Joe Gelhardt, Wilfried Gnonto, Mateuesz Klich, Mateo Joseph.
