KO - 15:00 UK - Elland Road
Leeds manager Kevin Blackwell claims he has no major new injury headaches for the visit of Preston.
There could be doubts about David Healy, who has been nursing an ankle injury in recent weeks, after he was withdrawn midway through the second half in the midweek defeat at Crewe.
Should Healy fail to make it against his former club, Robbie Blake is a likely replacement alongside Rob Hulse, who appears to have shaken off his own ankle problem.
Eddie Lewis is another who will face his old club, while a third former Preston player, Sean Gregan, may have to settle for a place on the bench again if Blackwell sticks with skipper Paul Butler and Matt Kilgallon in central defence.
David Nugent could be handed a place in the Preston starting line up.
The striker came off the bench in the 3-0 win over Hull on Tuesday after recovering from illness and manager Billy Davies may choose to start him.
Lewis Neal and Adam Nowland should be back in contention while Brian O'Neil returns after recovering from a thigh strain.
Claude Davis, who limped off against the Tigers, is also likely to be fit.
