Cardiff City are the visitors to Elland Road on the opening weekend of the Championship campaign as Leeds United seek an instant return to the Premier League.

The Whites cycled through three managers during a chaotic year that resulted in relegation, and the club’s new ownership have turned to former Norwich boss Daniel Farke as the man to lead them back to the top table.

Wales international Ethan Ampadu is the club’s marquee summer signing, while new ‘keeper Karl Darlow will challenge Illan Meslier between the sticks, although a number of last season’s first-team regulars – including top scorer Rodrigo – have departed.

Cardiff will be hoping for a better campaign after finishing just one place and five points above the drop zone in 2022/23.

Aaron Ramsey has made an emotional return to his boyhood club and new manager Erol Bulut has further strengthened his squad with attacking additions including Karlan Grant, Yakou Méïté and Iké Ugbo.
