Marcelo Bielsa has confirmed in his pre-match press conference that he will name an unchanged starting line-up this weekend, The Yorkshire Post reports.

Leeds lost to QPR in midweek but Bielsa still plans to keep faith with the same 11 players this weekend.

Their next match is on Friday night with promotion rivals West Brom travelling to Elland Road.

Pablo Hernandez on Jack Clarke

Leeds midfielder Pablo Hernandez has admitted that the side have “missed” teenager Jack Clarke, The Yorkshire Post reports.

During his press conference ahead of West Brom’s visit, Hernandez said: “We’ve missed him and we hope he recovers fast. He’s a different player for us. He gives us something else.”

The 18-year-old has burst onto the scene this season, scoring two and assisting two in the Championship for the Whites.
