KO 19:45 UK - Elland Road
Shaun Derry is a doubt for Leeds' midweek clash with Southampton at Elland Road.
The former Crystal Palace midfielder needed five stitches in a gash above his left eye following a bust-up with an unnamed Burnley player in the tunnel after Leeds' 2-1 win at Turf Moor.
Derry sat out most of training on Monday and could face a late fitness test.
Otherwise, boss Ian Blackwell has no new injury or suspension problems.
Strikers Rob Hulse and David Healy suffered no adverse reaction to their respective ankle injuries and are in contention.
Southampton boss Harry Redknapp will again be without Darren Powell for the long trip to Elland Road.
The centre-half was handed a three-match ban by the FA after being caught on camera punching Reading's Kevin Doyle during the game at the end of September.
Claus Lundekvam came in to replace Powell for the 1-1 draw with Hull and is expected to retain his place.
Marian Pahars had been expected to make his first start for 18 months against the Tigers but was forced to pull out late on due to a strained back.
The Latvian remains a major doubt meaning Brett Ormerod and Ricardo Fuller should start up front.
