Team news

Patrick Bamford is vying for a place in the team after netting a hat-trick for the Under-23s in midweek, but the game is likely to come too soon for Izzy Brown.  Luke Ayling, Gaetano Berardi, Liam Cooper, Stuart Dallas and Tom Pearce all remain sidelined.  

 

The key battle

Mark Beevers v Kemar Roofe

Leeds top scorer Roofe was in fine goal scoring form last week, netting twice in the 2-1 victory over Queens Park Rangers at Elland Road.  With 10 goals to his name this season, Bolton defender Mark Beevers could be in for a busy afternoon.
