Sell-out for much anticipated cup replay

Leeds manager Simon Grayson will be hoping his side can perform cup heroics once more when Tottenham travel to Elland Road. The Whites earned a replay against Spurs in the fourth round of the FA Cup thanks to late drama at White Hart Lane less then a fortnight ago. Jermaine Beckford slammed home an injury time penalty to secure a 2-2 draw in North London, with Leeds twice coming from behind to defy the odds. Much-admired Beckord has already put his name down in Leeds folklore with a winning goal against arch-rivals Manchester United in the third round, and he has another chance to enhance his growing reputation on home soil. The League One promotion hopefuls have suffered a dip in league form in the midst of their cup run, although they got back to winning ways with a 2-0 victory against Colchester at the weekend. Former Leeds players Jonathan Woodgate, Aaron Lennon and Robbie Keane will play no part, although Danny Rose started the last game and could feature. Grayson has doubts over Patrick Kisnorbo and Neil Kilkenny ahead of the clash. Both players missed the weekend win over the Us through injury and face a race against the clock to prove their fitness. Defender Kisnorbo is struggling with an Achilles/calf injury and midfielder Kilkenny has an ankle problem. Leeds will also be without winger Max Gradel and new loan signings Gary McSheffrey and Shane Lowry, who are all ineligible.

But they could have Andrew Hughes available following illness and he could step back in at left-back for Aston Villa youngster Lowry, while Bradley Johnson, who made way for McSheffrey against Colchester, could also return. Lubo Michalik is expected to partner Richard Naylor in central defence should Kisnorbo fail to make it, with Grayson to decide which combination to go with up front. Spurs, meanwhile, were left disappointed after conceding a last-minute equaliser against Birmingham in the Premier League on Saturday. Russian striker Roman Pavlyuchenko (groin) is missing for Harry Redknapp and defender Ledley King (knee) will be rested. New signings Younes Kaboul and Kyle Walker are cup tied, while on-loan Monaco forward Eidur Gudjohnsen will not play either, so a couple of youth team players could feature. Lennon (hernia) and full-back Benoit Assou-Ekotto (hip) are also sidelined, while Keane and Alan Hutton have left the club on loan. Woodgate (groin) and Carlo Cudicini (pelvis, wrist) remain absent with long-term injuries, but Tom Huddlestone is fit again after missing the first game.
