Leeds United host Manchester United in wet and blustery conditions at Elland Road this afternoon.
Whites supporters have awaited an occasion as significant as today's for 19 years, robbed of last season's home derby by coronavirus restrictions.
Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick admitted in midweek that he was previously unaware of the fierce rivalry between the two clubs, but has been reassured by members of his staff that this afternoon will be a particularly pivotal fixture in both teams' seasons.
The Red Devils are without Edinson Cavani today, but are able to call on a largely fully-fit squad including several England internationals and Cristiano Ronaldo from the start.
Leeds on the other hand, name a starting XI with one change, following last weekend's defeat to Everton at Goodison Park.
Adam Forshaw returns from the start. He replaces Raphinha.
Last season, the Whites held Manchester United to a 0-0 draw at Elland Road - a game in which Kalvin Phillips starred in defensive midfield.
While the England man is in the 'final stages' of his recovery, he is not involved with the squad today. He and captain Liam Cooper are expected to return in early March.
Junior Firpo makes a return to the squad, however, having missed a month with a hamstring injury.
Stuart Dallas retains his starting place at left-back despite his early substitution against Everton last weekend.
Luke Ayling starts at right-back, with Illan Meslier between the posts. Pascal Struijk and Diego Llorente continue at the heart of defence, with Robin Koch starting in defensive midfield as he did at Old Trafford on the opening day of the season.
In attack, Marcelo Bielsa has selected former Man United wide-man Daniel James as today's No. 9, flanked by Raphinha and Jack Harrison.
Adam Forshaw is recalled to the starting XI having featured during the second half at Everton.
Headline team news is that Raphinha does not start this afternoon. The Brazilian is on the bench after his half-time substitution last week.
Leeds United XI: Meslier; Ayling, Llorente, Struijk, Dallas; Koch, Forshaw, Klich; James, Harrison, Rodrigo
Subs: Klaesson, Shackleton, Cresswell, Gelhardt, Raphinha, Firpo, Kenneh, Roberts, Bate
