Michail Antonio returns to the West Ham team at Elland Road today.

Antonio was suspended for last weekend’s 2-1 defeat against Manchester United and was rested for the Carabao Cup win at Old Trafford in midweek.

Declan Rice captains the side, Kurt Zouma and Angelo Ogbonna come back to the defence and Lukasz Fabianski starts in goal ahead of Alphonse Areola.

West Ham won both Premier League matches against Leeds last season.

West Ham confirmed XI: Fabianski, Coufal, Zouma, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Soucek, Rice, Benrahma, Fornals, Bowen, Antonio.

Subs: Areola, Yarmolenko, Lanzini, Vlasic, Dawson, Noble, Diop, Johnson, Kral.

Leeds XI: Meslier, Firpo, Cooper, Cresswell, Dallas, Shackleton, Phillips, Klich, Raphinha, James, Rodrigo.

Subs: Klaesson, Roberts, Harrison, Gelhardt, Hjelde, Drameh, Summerville, Greenwood, McCarron.
