Marcelo Bielsa confirmed on Thursday his starting lineup for the encounter, between two sides striving for promotion and separated by just four points. After last Saturday's win over Bolton and Tuesday's surprise loss at QPR, Bielsa's men face a third game in a week - but will again be unchanged. Bielsa fielded a 4-1-4-1 formation in both fixtures, and is set to keep faith with the same lineup. “It’s going to be the same team and the same bench,” the Elland Road chief told Leeds Live. (Image: Getty Images) As such, Spanish goalkeeper Kiko Casilla remains between the sticks. The back four will again consist of Luke Ayling, Pontus Jansson, Liam Cooper and Ezgjan Alioski. Kalvin Phillips will anchor midfield, with Tyler Roberts and Mateusz Klich in front of him, and Pablo Hernandez and Jack Harrison operating from wide. Kemar Roofe's continued absence means £7million striker Bamford continues as the side's attacking focal point.

Without the support of the fans, we wouldn’t be the team we are. “They always come to the stadium and for each game this has a big importance for us. This must continue because every game between now and the end of the season is a big challenge for us.” Leeds Starting XI: Casilla; Ayling, Jansson, Cooper, Alioski; Phillips; Hernandez, Roberts, Klich, Harrison; Bamford<doc-sep>Leeds: Bielsa says West Brom clash is an 'important game' HERE for the latest MUFC breaking news and transfer updates SUBSCRIBE Invalid email Sign upfor the latest MUFC breaking news and transfer updates When you subscribe we will use the information you provide to send you these newsletters.

Albion are four points behind Marcelo Bielsa’s side in fourth following last week's 1-0 home defeat to Sheffield United. Although they have lost just once in their last 10 away games to sit six points off top spot, boss Darren Moore insists he is not interested in the table yet. Moore, whose side beat Leeds 4-1 in November, said: "I don't look at it, it's my own preference. I'm just trying to get my head down and win games. The division is wide open. "It was always going to be a competitive division. All the teams are capable of winning, and that's just the division. You can't predict it. It'll ebb and flow until the last kick of the season, and we're one of the teams competing. "If you find that consistent form then it bodes well for the team or teams who can put it together. "It's such a relentless division and that's why the results for everyone have been a little inconsistent at times. "It is an exciting game. Both teams go head to head and both teams like to attack."
