Young star Tommy Conway scored both goals in the 2-1 victory in just his third short appearance after his return from a hamstring injury which has plagued his season. However, Nigel Pearson has confirmed that the midweek hero won’t be starting, making fellow academy graduate and league top scorer Sam Bell the main goal threat.

Both teams will look to add to their points tally in a tight play off push, with only two points separating 14th and sixth place. Leeds will be without full backs Djed Spence and Junior Firpo, as well as tricky winger Wilfried Gnonto, all ruled out with injury. The Robins will remain without Zak Vyner, who’s still out with his ligament injury.
