Leeds travel to South Yorkshire this evening to play Barnsley in the Championship. Leeds will be looking to build on their impressive start tot he season, with 3 successive wins taking them to 6th in the table.
Manager Simon Grayson is likely to field an unchanged side. Striker Lucciano Becchio was taken off late in Saturdays win over Swansea with a knock, but is expected to shake that off and take his place up front. Wide man Lloyd Sam will be hoping for a recall. the former Swindon player has impressed this season, but missed out last time out, having to make do with a place on the bench following injury. Max Gradel replaced him, and was involved in both goals, so should keep his place.
Definitely not playing will be Snodgrass, Grella, Paynter and Nunez - all who played in a behind doors friendly this afternoon (a 3-1 win over Middlesboro, with Grella (2) and Nunez netting).
Leeds will be supported by a superb following tonight - with 7,500 fans making the short trip south. Not many teams can command away support of that magnitude, but the Leeds faithful always seem to sell out their allocation - however big that may be...
