Leeds are likely to start Luke Ayling at right-back after he joined from Bristol City on Thursday.
Ayling will replace Gaetano Berardi, who suffered a hamstring injury in the QPR game. United could give home senior debuts to as many as 10 players tomorrow, including Pablo Hernandez.

Che Adams could make his Birmingham City debut after he joined from Sheffield United for a £1.5m fee.
Tomasz Kuszczak, Clayton Donaldson and Diego Fabbrini are likely to play after missing the EFL Cup loss to Oxford.

◾Birmingham are winless in their last seven league games (D5 L2), keeping a clean sheet just once in that time.

Now, where the hell is Snapski? Go on snappers, have a gloat!!

I'm not gonna gloat. And I still think you'll find enough resolve to finish lower mid-table.
I'd be seriously surprised if you finish above us though. I think our squad is streets ahead of yours at the moment.

Let's see eh, Jonny. Something tells me this is just the beginning for us, it's not like we've thrown our eggs into one basket...we're a progressive club and have taken sensible steps to get to where we are, and we'll continue to grow. Whilst many wouldn't want to admit it, you'd love to be where we are now.

We would love to have a "normal club."
