Stuart Dallas makes Leeds debut

Stuart Dallas has been selected for his Leeds United debut as the Whites welcome Burnley to Elland Road for their opening game of the Championship season.

The Northern Irishman, who joined Leeds from Brentford this week, starts on the left of a front three that also includes another debutant, £3m striker Chris Wood.

Tom Adeyemi is another new face for the home side and starts in a holding-midfield role.

For the newly-relegated visitors, goalkeeper Tom Heaton captains a side that includes two summer signings.

Tendayi Darikwa starts ahead of the injured Matthew Lowton at right-back, while in attack Jelle Vossen gets the nod ahead of Sam Vokes.

Leeds United: Silvestri; Berardi, Bamba, Bellusci, Taylor; Adeyemi, Cook, Mowatt; Byram, Dallas; Wood Subs: Turnbull, Cooper, Wootton, Phillips, Doukara, Erwin, Antenucci
