Leeds face what could be their most important clash in many years tomorrow night, when they visit Hull. A gap is starting to develop at the bottom, and a defeat could see the very real possibility of relegation come one step closer. Leeds will welcome back Jonathon Douglas after a ban, and he could go straight in to right midfield where Robbie Blake struggled in Leeds' last outing at West Brom. Blake would then battle with Healy to partner Flo up front. At the back, Foxe is missing, so Heath is likely to partner the in form Rui Marquez. The other option open to Dennis Wise is to push Sa up to right midfield and recall Gary Kelly.
There is also the possibility of 39 year old assistant manager Gus Poyet pulling on the White shirt. Poyet is not yet registered as a player, but after two friendly outings last week as Leeds trained in Cyprus, including a goal, he is in the managers thoughts.
Leeds must get something out of this game - a loss would be unthinkable, and leave the fans fearing the worst.
