Leeds United will round out their pre-season committments ahead of the new Premier League campaign on Saturday.

The Whites welcome Bundesliga outfit Augsburg to Elland Road in their final warm-up game before the real stuff gets underway.

The fixture is scheduled to kick-off at 3pm UK time, with fans getting one last glimpse of the team before next week's season-opener at Nottingham Forest.

There will be an intrigue among supporters over who Daniel Farke selects in his starting XI, as it may give an indication as to who he will start against the Tricky Trees next weekend.

It will also provide one final opportunity for the squad to get valuable minutes in the legs ahead of facing Forest.

Not everyone will be able to attend the game at Elland Road, of course, but MOT Leeds News has all the information for how fans can follow along at home.

How can I watch the Leeds United friendly vs Augsburg today?

There were around 24,000 supporters in attendance when Leeds welcomed RB Leipzig to Elland Road last week.

It is estimated that a similar number will be in attendance to watch the Augsburg game at Elland Road this afternoon, a very healthy number for pre-season.

But you can also watch the game from the comfort of your own home if you cannot make the trip to the stadium on Saturday.

While the game will not be broadcast live on TV, fans can stream the game via LUTV.

Fans can purchase a one-off pass for the game via the LUTV website, with the pass costing £5 for supporters.

If you are unable to watch the game live, then highlights of the friendly clash will be uploaded to Leeds' YouTube channel after the game so you can catch up.

How have Leeds United fared in pre-season so far?

Leeds have enjoyed a very strong pre-season campaign as they build towards the new Premier League season.

They did start with a defeat to Wrexham, but the rest of their United States tour went very well, as Leeds achieved wins over Sunderland Liverpool.

The Whites followed that up with a 2-0 victory over Leipzig last weekend, and drew 1-1 with Manchester United in Dublin before losing 5-4 on penalties.

Now, they will look to take more momentum from this Augsburg clash before the gruelling grind of the Premier League returns on 22 August.

Let the games begin!
