As Leeds look towards a push at the end of the season, Gary MacAllister will be keen to ensure he has as manay players as possible to pick from. MacAllister has shown he prefers a settled line up, with the same core players featuring week in and out despite the large squad available to him at Elland Road.

Midfielder, David Prutton was missing last night due to a problem on his foot and attended an X-Ray yesterday.  The full results are not yet known but he may be back for Saturday.  Jonathon Douglas put in an impressive performance last night in the victory over Doncaster.

Right back, Darren Kenton is out with a hamstring niggle.  Kenton put in one of his best performances at the weekend in the Brighton fixture and will be disappointed to have lost his place to Frazer Richardon, who again, came in and provided ample cover.

Full back and recent team Captain, Rui Marquis also had a hamstring issue and it was decided not to risk him.  Paul Huntington put in one of the performances of the night in his absence and will be unlucky to lose his place if MacAllister prefers to revert to his first choice 11.

Both Marques and Kenton are expected to be available on Saturday for the visit to Leyton Orient.

Club Captain, Alan Thompson remains sidelined with a thigh strain.

It wil be. I think the call here is that Hunty keeps his place and Fids mate Howson did OK too, so probably not?

Ha ha! He reads this site obviously.

If so let's hope Bates also reads it and f**ks off!

I'm never far from my next Bates rant!

Hope Huntingdon keeps his place-hasn't let us down yet - partner for Rui maybe or even keep a winning side (leaving Rui and Prutts out???)

very good problem to have-be interesting what he does-to drop Huntingdon would be a massive kick in the teeth...might decide to give Rui a bit more time as a hamstring strain never wants rushing back...

Prutts and Kenton back for Saturdays match - two 90 minutes in a week too much for Dougie?

Rui out this weekend, so Hungtington will start.

Sheehan's ban doesn't come in until after Saturdays game.
