Peter Reid has named his squad for tomorrows visit to Spurs. It is the same as last week, but Nick Barmby has been added after impressing for the reserves. Manager Peter Reid only has one selection dilemma, and that is whether to play Jason Wilcox on the right, or replace him with on loan Jermaine Pennant

Manager Peter Reid only has one selection dilemma, and that is whether to play Jason Wilcox on the right, or replace him with on loan Jermaine Pennant. Wilcox is the better defensive option, with Pennant more likely to pose problems going forward. Personally, I'd like to see Pennant thrust straight in. Tottenham play with wing backs, and I'd rather see their left wing back (probably Tarrico) pegged back , and been wary of Pennant, than allowed to push forward onto Wilcox and Kelly. The rest of the team in unlikely to be changed, with Morris and Matteo expected to shake off a bug and ankle injury respectively.

Spurs have a lot of injury worries, with Keane, Anderton, Poyet and Kanoute all out. Centre back Dean Richards played for their reserves mid week, but hasn't played much in pre season. Hopefully the former Bradford star will miss out, as he has seemed to boss Viduka in the last few meetings. Bobby Zamora should be fit and make his first start in front of an expecting White Hart Lane crowd. What's your prediction for the score? Post on the message board, link below..

Leeds squad in full is:

Robinson, Kelly, Radebe, Camara, Matteo, Sakho, Seth Johnson, Morris, Domi, Smith, Viduka, Harte, Barmby, Wilcox, Batty, Milner, Martyn, Pennant.
