Preston have no new injury worries but manager Alex Neil could make changes after their weekend defeat by Reading.

Captain Tom Clarke remains sidelined with a knee injury, with Louis Moult (also knee) out long term.

Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa confirmed he will start with the same side that beat Birmingham on Saturday, with Pablo Hernandez nursing a hamstring injury.

That means Patrick Bamford will keep his place in attack despite failing to score in his past seven appearances.
