Southampton travel to Elland Road to face Leeds United in the Premier League, with Ralph Hasenhuttl's Saints looking to end a run of three straight defeats ...

"Raphinha is a player who has generated a lot of transfer talk in recent weeks, with Barcelona reportedly interested in snapping him up this summer. Meanwhile, Leeds have won their last two games in the top flight, after losing their first two under new boss Jesse Marsch. They played really well against Manchester City in the FA Cup but ended up losing 4-1, which I felt was a bit harsh.

Here's all the information you need to know as Southampton visit Leeds in game 30 of the 2021-22 Premier League season.

* Southampton have lost three successive Premier League games, following a run of two defeats in the previous 13. * They have lost seven of their 15 Premier League home matches this season - only in 1995-96 (8) and 2002-03 (9) have they lost more at Elland Road in a single campaign in the division. For Leeds, they will be without striker Patrick Bamford after aggravating his foot injury in their game against Wolverhampton Wanderers a couple of weeks ago. * The Whites can win three successive Premier League games for the first time since triumphing in their final four league fixtures of last season, including a 2-0 victory at Southampton. * They have won their past two league matches via 90th-minute goals, following a run of seven defeats in the previous eight. * Leeds have lost just one of their 13 Premier League home games against Southampton (W7, D5), a 1-0 defeat in February 1998.

Leeds United host Southampton this afternoon in the Whites' latest Premier League fixture at Elland Road.

His inclusion is contingent on the fact Kalvin Phillips takes a place on the substitutes' bench for a second gameweek in-a-row. Leeds United head coach Jesse Marsch secured his first win as Whites boss at Elland Road last month, courtesy of a last-gasp Joe Gelhardt winner against Norwich City. The side made it back-to-back victories for the first time this season as Wolverhampton Wanderers were defeated 3-2 at Molineux last time out. Marsch has decided to reinstate captain Liam Cooper to the starting XI; the centre-back has missed almost four months following hamstring surgery.

Marsch has opted to start club captain Cooper as Pascal Struijk drops out of the side and on to the bench which again features star teen forward Gelhardt. Cooper and Phillips have not featured since both picked up hamstring injuries in the 2-2 draw at home to Brentford on December 5 although the duo both returned to the bench as unused substitutes for the clash at Molineux.

For a good 35 minutes the game had been the one they wanted and they got their reward with a goal for Jack Harrison. But only one goal.

For a period in the second half, left-back Kyle Walker-Peters, fresh from his first two England caps, was electric, and he won a free-kick Ward-Prowse converted. He even played an indirect part in the opening goal, after 29 minutes, tackling Broja with his head with a Gary Kelly-style header as the ball was on the ground. It was tough on Leeds but a reminder that although they are heading in the right direction under the American, there is further to go.

Leeds United have announced their starting line-up and substitutes to play host to Ralph Hasenhuttl's Southampton side in the Premier League this afternoon.

Marsch starts Illan Meslier in goal for Leeds, while Luke Ayling and Stuart Dallas operate as full-backs. New boss Jesse Marsch has managed to guide Leeds to two wins in their last two games to ease worries of relegation and he will be looking for a third victory in a row today. Leeds United have announced their starting line-up and substitutes to play host to Ralph Hasenhuttl’s Southampton side in the Premier League this afternoon.

Leeds United's primary focus is ensuring they retain their Premier League status but plans are being put in place ahead of this summer's transfer window.

Newcastle United want to bring Philippe Coutinho to St James' Park, with the Barcelona midfielder currently on loan at Aston Villa (Sport - MORE). Alexandre Lacazette is being eyed by Barcelona with the Arsenal striker in the final months of his contract at the Emirates Stadium (Sport - MORE). Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Leeds midfielder Jack Harrison this summer.

Courtney Sweetman-Kirk spotted Raphinha being annoyed with his teammate Dan James during the Leeds United v Southampton clash.

James had three chances to play that pass. In other Leeds United news, the Whites are leading the race to complete a major signing and have already opened talks to seal a £25m deal. Speaking on commentatory for the world feed, the Sky Sports pundit said, “If that was my teammate I would be absolutely fuming.

There is no doubt Barcelona are in the market for a right winger. It is believed that the Whites are keen on the services of Oscar Mingueza, with Barcelona open to sanctioning a loan deal to Elland Road. The Whites are determined to keep hold of Raphinha, who still has a long-term contract at Elland Road.

Leeds United chief executive Angus Kinnear has written about the impact made by the club's under-23 crop in the recent wins.

Writing in Saturday’s programme, Kinnear focused on the big role the youngsters played in the recent two wins, as well as Marsch’s role in bringing them on. In January, the chief executive addressed transfer policy and why eight-figure fees would not be splashed out on targets the club felt were no better than the best of the under-23 crop already in the building.

Dest is a different case. With contract talks for Ousmane Dembele seemingly still at a stalemate, President Joan Laporta publicly expressed his admiration for Raphinha on Monday night. The names in question would be Clement Lenglet, Sergino Dest, Martin Braithwaite and Oscar Mingueza. It did mention that none of the four players are especially keen on leaving Barcelona currently.

Leeds United captain Liam Cooper has expressed his delight at his return to fitness and backed team mate Patrick Bamford to return an even stronger player.

Support the YEP and become a subscriber today. "We've all got a lot of confidence and we believe we can go on a good run between now and the end of the season." Cooper has not featured for Leeds since injuring his hamstring in the 2-2 draw at home to Brentford on December 5 but the skipper was an unused substitute in the epic 3-2 win at Wolves before the international break.

Leeds boss Jesse Marsch believes his side will "only get better" despite them being denied a third straight win in a hard-fought game with Southampton.

It was a step forward for us that in such an intense game we had the chance to win it. "We had a good break, we were fresh today. "I think we are only going to grow and get better. This season, he leads the way with three, one more than Newcastle's Kieran Trippier. Maybe in the last phase of the match we were unlucky not to find more. I know the coach well and he has done a good job with his team.

Leeds United fans feel the pressure is off after picking up another point but questioned the insistence on playing winger Dan James as a striker.

Leeds United return to Premier League action against Southampton at Elland Road today and you can follow all of the developments from LS11 here.

Leeds United were forced to settle for a point in a game at home to Southampton which was often very frantic.

Leeds United welcomed back Liam Cooper and Kalvin Phillips in their 1-1 Elland Road draw with Southampton.

Read the game well in the main, made interceptions, made life tough for Saints attackers in the air. Got forward to good effect though and kept going.Better in the second half as the game went on, than in the first when Livramento caused issues. BIG GOAL - Jack Harrison opened the scoring for Leeds United in the first half, but they were held to a 1-1 draw at Elland Road by Southampton. Pic: Jonathan GawthorpeLeeds United welcomed back Liam Cooper and Kalvin Phillips in their 1-1 Elland Road draw with Southampton. Captain Cooper started against the Saints and was solid defensively as his side dominated most of the first half and took a deserved lead through Jack Harrison. Southampton worked their way back into the game in the latter stages of the first half and then came out flying following the interval, a sublime James Ward-Prowse free-kick levelling matters.Both sides had chances to win it, Leeds recovering from their poor start to the second half as Phillips came off the bench to calm the home side down but there was to be no victor and the spoils were shared.Leeds are now unbeaten in three and sit eight points clear of the drop zone thanks to Watford's 2-0 defeat by Liverpool earlier in the day.Made some smart saves, distribution wasn't great, some good balls to Ayling before playing it out became more problematicStruggled with Kyle Walker-Peters in the second half having done well in the first half.

Jesse Marsch told Phil Hay that Kalvin Phillips is in contention to start in the Leeds United v Watford game next Saturday (April 9).

Says he’ll be in contention to start at Watford next weekend.” The England international controls the tempo so well that others in the team thrive just by the fact that he’s in the squad. The Englishman came off the bench at Elland Road against Southampton in a game that ended 1-1.

Tim Sherwood praised Leeds United for their entertaining style today and highlighted the threat from Raphinha.

“At that stage you’re thinking the momentum is with them. He believed that Leeds United could have won the Elland Road clash, but said a draw was a fair result. Sherwod said: “It was a fantastic game of football, end to end.

Tim Sherwood has backed Leeds United to tie their star man Raphinha down to a new contract despite heavy reports of a move away from Elland Road.

But Leeds is a massive football club and if they stay in the league and want to invest in the side, why don’t you stay for the future? “He’s got a swagger about him as well and looks like he could play at the highest level. That shape got pace and strength and he sees the pass and gives it at the right time.

Liverpool yesterday completed the signing of highly-rated teenager Ben Doak yesterday but it emerged that Leeds had rivalled the Reds, as Orta continued his aggressive recruitment plan for the U23 squad. It emerged last week that part of Barcelona's plan to agree a deal with Leeds United for Raphinha involves the idea of offering the Whites a player in part-exchange. The Irishman is plying his trade for Vincent Kompany's Anderlecht in the Belgian Pro League, whilst he also has 16 caps for the Republic of Ireland national team.

Leeds legend Dominic Matteo says Patrick Bamford being consoled by his team-mates is an example of the togetherness of the Whites players.

Leeds United legend Dominic Matteo is of the view that Patrick Bamford’s team-mates being so quick to console him after his injury is proof of how tight-knit the squad is at Elland Road. Leeds United legend Dominic Matteo is of the view that Patrick Bamford’s team-mates being so quick to console him after his injury is proof of how tight-knit the squad is at Elland Road. Matteo is delighted to see the Whites squad showing sympathy for Bamford and he thinks that highlights the solid and caring group of players at Elland Road.

After a run of form bettered only by Liverpool, Leeds United might start looking at how high they can climb.

So Everton could leapfrog Leeds, and Burnley could leapfrog Watford, but the points gap between Burnley and Watford to Everton and Leeds looks insurmountable. The two will meet in a vital clash at Vicarage Road next Saturday. Posing little threat of catching Leeds are Norwich City in bottom place, 12 points behind the Whites. Above Norwich are Burnley on 21 points, one behind Watford and nine behind Leeds, but with three games in hand over Leeds. Watford have played two matches more than Burnley and face away trips to Manchester City and Chelsea. Burnley’s run-in includes home matches to Everton, Southampton, Wolves, Aston Villa and Newcastle, with away trips to Watford and Norwich. So it might be that Burnley leapfrog Watford by the end of the season, but climbing out of the relegation zone looks difficult. Elsewhere in the Premier League today, Burnley lost 2-0 to Manchester City and Watford lost 2-0 to Liverpool, helping Leeds to safety.
