soccernet.espn.go.com/preview?id=185632&cc=5739KO - 15:00 UK - Elland RoadLeeds manager Kevin Blackwell prepares for the visit of Luton with a number of first-teamers certain to be unavailable. Shaun Derry completes the second and final game of his suspension while Frazer Richardson (hamstring) and Matt Kilgallon (knee) are still a fortnight away from contention. Richard Cresswell will join them in the stands having been ruled out for the season after knee surgery. Eirik Bakke should retain his place after returning to the first-team after hamstring trouble against Leicester and playing for the reserves in midweek. Joel Griffiths also appeared for the second string but is likely to build up his match fitness before linking up with Blackwell's squad. Luton could welcome back Paul Underwood after he missed the Hatters' last four matches with a hip injury. Underwood played 68 minutes of a midweek reserve match, and is likely to be in boss Mike Newell's squad for the match at Elland Road. Peter Holmes is also pushing for a return but fellow midfielders Steve Robinson and David Bell (both knee) remain sidelined. Newell had hoped that defender Chris Coyne would be fit to figure at Leeds, but the Australian played no part in the reserves' 6-1 win over Oxford.
