Leeds United welcome Wayne Rooney’s Plymouth Argyle to Elland Road this afternoon in what, on paper at least, looks to be one of the Championship’s biggest mismatches so far this season.

Goals from Dan James, Joel Piroe and Brenden Aaronson put Daniel Farke’s men 3-0 up at the end of a one-sided first half at Elland Road. Wayne Rooney’s side set up in an ultra-defensive system but ultimately had no answer to Leeds.
