Daniel Farke is preparing his side for a return to the top flight of English football after they achieved automatic promotion last year.
The Whites face Everton on the opening day of the season but will have to wait that extra bit longer than everyone else as they are Sky’s pick for Monday Night Football on 18 August.
Leeds’ last opening day of the Premier League came against Wolverhampton Wanderers in a 2-1 victory at Elland Road. Daniel Podence opened the scoring for Wolves early on but Rodrigo levelled the score before half-time. Leeds went ahead in the 74th minute after now Manchester City’s Rayan Aït-Nouri turned Patrick Bamford's cross, intended for Brenden Aaronson, into his own goal.
Leeds will be hoping to replicate that victory three years ago but aspire for more success from the rest of the campaign.
Below is the opening lineup for that game in Leeds’ last Premier League opener.
