Leeds face their biggest game of the season tonight, as in form Watford are the visitors. Adrian Boothroyds men are in a rich vein of form, and we will have to up our game several levels to live with them.
If we lose tonight, our chances of securing 2nd place will be all but over. A win tonight, and it is a real possibility.
Kevin Blackwell will have to check on the fitness of his forwards before deciding tonight’s line up. David Healy is back from suspension, but the other 3 front men all have knocks. Richard Creswell will require a knee operation, possibly as soon as tomorrow, but may be patched up to get him through the game. Rob Hulse has his long standing hip problem, as well as a new injury picked up at the weekend when kicked, but should be fit. Robbie Blake is also carrying a groin injury and will be assessed this afternoon.
Watford are unable to play Matthew Spring as part of the transfer deal, but front man Marlon King, who had a loan spell with us last season will play, and is bang in form. The striker never looked like scoring when in the white of Leeds, but can’t stop hitting the back of the net this season
