BBC Sport previews the weekend EFL action, kicking off with in-form Sheffield United visiting Leeds in a big Yorkshire derby.

By contrast, Chris Wilder makes four changes to the Sheffield United side that beat Luton before the international break. Gustavo Hamer, Harrison Burrows, Jamie Shackleton and Rhys Norrington-Davies replace Alfie Gilchrist, Sam McCallum, Jesurun Rak-Sakyi and Rhian Brewster.

PASCAL STRUIJK AND Mateo Joseph struck second-half goals to secure Leeds a 2-0 Yorkshire derby win and consign Sheffield United to their first defeat of the season. Leeds skipper Struijk scored the first league goal conceded by the Blades in seven matches and substitute Joseph added a late second.

The rest of the team virtually picks itself after that impressive showing on Wearside. Illan Meslier keeps his place despite the freakish equaliser he conceded. He needs backing and is a long way from the chopping block after the start United’s defence has made this term.
