Host commentator
Gnonto has made a big impact for Leeds recently and was on the scoresheet at Old Trafford. It will be intriguing to see whether the 19-year-old will be able to find the net again today.
Leeds are above the relegation zone by one point. They can go above West Ham into 16th place with a win today.
Manchester United, meanwhile, can, temporarily at least, go above Manchester City before their rivals take on Aston Villa later.
Maguire makes his first start in the league for over a month. It looks like he will be partnered by Luke Shaw at centre-back.
Leeds make two changes, with Crysencio Summerville and Junior Firpo starting in place of Sinisterra and Struijk, who are out injured.
Manchester United, meanwhile, bring in Jadon Sancho, Harry Maguire and Tyrell Malacia for Alejandro Garnacho, Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane.

Casemiro is still suspended for Manchester United today, but Aaron Wan-Bissaka could be back available after illness.
As far as Leeds are concerned, Liam Cooper, Marc Roca and Luis Sinisterra have all been assessed ahead of the game.
Leeds have still yet to appoint a replacement for Jesse Marsch, who was sacked last week. U21s coach Michael Skubala is set to take charge of the team again today.
These two sides played each other on Wednesday, with the game ending in a 2-2 draw. Leeds opened the scoring in the first minute through Wilfried Gnonto, with Raphael Varane later scoring an own goal.
However, Manchester United fought their way back into the game, with Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho scoring.
