Leeds hope to have Tyler Roberts available to face Hull
Image: Tyler Roberts could return for Leeds

Leeds striker Tyler Roberts will return to the starting line-up for the home game against Bolton.

Roberts steps in for Kemar Roofe, who has been ruled out for between four and eight weeks due to knee ligament damage sustained in the home win against Swansea.

Winger Jack Clarke remains unavailable after a virus prompted his collapse in the dugout in the recent draw at Middlesbrough, but Stuart Dallas returns to the squad after an ankle injury. Gaetano Berardi (hamstring), fellow defender Barry Douglas (calf) and midfielder Adam Forshaw (knee) are still out.

Bolton's versatile defender Marc Wilson is hoping to return to contention after missing last week's home defeat to Norwich due to a hamstring injury. Midfielder Gary O'Neil (calf) will be assessed after missing out against Norwich, but could also return to contention.

Defender Luca Connell (calf), Andy Taylor and Jack Hobbs (Achilles) have all been sidelined in recent weeks and remain doubtful. Goalkeeper Remi Matthews is expected to continue in goal as cover for the injured Ben Alnwick (knee).

Prutton's prediction

Leeds will be well rested after 10 days off, which is an awful lot in this league believe me! In that time, though, they have seen Norwich and Sheffield United climb above them, and they will be desperate to force their way back into the top two.

Bolton present them with a great opportunity to do just that. They were completely outclassed by Norwich last weekend and you would fancy Leeds to do a similar job on them. Home win.

David Prutton predicts: 3-0 (11/2 with Sky Bet)
