What channel is Leeds United v Aston Villa on today? TV and streaming details, team news

Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch aims to turn his touchline ban for Sunday’s home Premier League game against Aston Villa into an advantage.

The American was deemed to have over-stepped the mark in Leeds’ recent defeat at Brentford.

His furious protests after his side were denied a second-half penalty earned him a red card. He was later hit with a one-match suspension and fined £10,000 by the Football Association.

The American said: “I actually like the vantage point of being up high, I think it allows you to see the match better.

“I’ve often considered actually managing or coaching from that position, and then coming in at half-time and things like that.

“It’s a test to see how good we can be, how much we can be unified, how clear we are with everything on a day where I’m not right on top of everything.”

Ahead of the Whites’ return to action, here’s how to keep up with the contest.

Sunday's game will be Leeds' first for four weeks and the time has allowed the injury picture to improve considerably.

"Archie Gray had an incident at home where he stubbed his toe and fractured a little bit of his big toe so he's been out of training for about two weeks and will be out for probably another two," said Marsch.

"Stuart (Dallas) is making a really good recovery (from a broken leg).

"Adam Forshaw twisted his ankle this week and it's not so bad but he won't be available for the weekend but other than that every single player is available."

Willy Gnonto will be in the squad on Sunday after "pleasantly surprising" Marsch with how quickly he has adapted to life in West Yorkshire.

Lucas Digne, Matty Cash, Boubacar Kamara and Diego Carlos will all miss out for Villa.
