Changes for Leeds, N'Gotty debut for Bulls
Leeds United are ready to make wholesale changes for the visit of Hereford United, who are due to give Bruno N'Gotty his debut.
Midfield pair Neil Kilkenny and Andrew Hughes were the only players who retained their places for the midweek Carling Cup win against Hartlepool.
But Whites boss Gary McAllister, who has no new injury or suspension problems, is likely to revert back to the side that beat Carlisle last weekend.
Left-back Alan Sheehan will sit out the last game of his three-match ban, so McAllister must decide whether to recall 16-year-old Aidan White, rested on Tuesday, or give Ben Parker another chance to impress.
Leading goalscorer Jermaine Beckford will resume his partnership with Luciano Becchio up front, with Enoch Showunmi and Rob Snodgrass returning to the substitutes' bench.
Hereford news
Hereford boss Graham Turner is set to hand a debut to veteran defender N'Gotty when he takes his struggling side to Elland Road.
N'Gotty, 37, has arrived on a month's loan from Leicester and his arrival helps ease a sizeable injury crisis.
Sam Oji is out with a knee problem while fellow defender Robbie Threlfall has returned to parent club Liverpool to undergo treatment on a broken foot.
Strikers Moses Ashikodi (foot), Andy Williams (ankle) and Steve Guinan are all out, meaning Nick Chadwick, fresh from his goal in the 2-1 defeat to Scunthorpe last weekend, and Bradley Hudson-Odoi are set to start up front.
Midfielder Jack MacLeod overcame ankle problems to earn a place on the bench against Scunthorpe and should feature, while captain Karl Broadhurst came through the defeat with no ill-effects after making his return from a shoulder problem.
