Team news

Gaetano Berardi, Jack Clarke, Stuart Dallas and Barry Douglas are sidelined for Leeds.  There are doubts over Oliver McBurnie and Leroy Fer for the visitors.

 

The key battle

Pablo Hernandez v Daniel James

Spanish playmaker Hernandez has been in fine form for Leeds all season.  He changed the game against Middlesbrough on Saturday and will be looking to have an influence again against his former side Swansea.  James has been one of the bright sparks for the Swans this season and will look to cause Leeds problems.
