Another Yorkshire derby is on the cards as Leeds United hosts Hull City in the EFL Championship this Saturday.
After some of their key players, like Crysencio Summerville and Georginio Rutter, departed Leeds has understandably had an inconsistent start to the season. They have five points from their first three matches of the 2024-25 season and are currently placed sixth.
Hull City is also struggling for form. With three points from three matches, they are placed 14th in the Championship standings.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Leeds vs. Hull City lineups, team news
Leeds United may opt for the same starting XI as the match in Hillsborough last week. Patrick Ramford may still be out with injury and new signing Largie Ramazani is likely to start on the bench.

Doğukan Sinik may play some part since he has been out due to lack of match fitness rather than an injury. However, Hull will miss the services of Harvey Cartwright and Ryan Longman.
