Team News
Leeds United
We're all aware of Saiz and Luke Ayling being out so no point in dwelling on that, Ekuban still out and Ronaldo Vieira remains doubtful due to an unspecified injury sustained in the Boxing Day win at Burton, while winger Stuart Dallas according to some reports could be back in contention, again there are conflicting reports as to whether new signing De Bock will feature ................ wait n see I suppose
Ipswich
defender Jordan Spence continues his three-match suspension in the Sky Bet Championship clash with Leeds.
Striker Kieffer Moore has joined Barnsley on a three-and-a-half year deal and is no longer available. Defender Tommy Smith could return after missing the FA Cup defeat by Sheffield United through illness.

Opta stats
Ipswich have lost only one of their last 10 home league matches against Leeds (W7 D2), losing 2-1 in August 2013.
Leeds haven't kept a league clean sheet in any of their last 13 visits to Portman Road, since Mark Beeney was in goal for the Whites in a goalless draw in the Premier League in October 1993.
David McGoldrick has found the net in five of his seven league matches against Leeds for Ipswich, netting six goals in total including one earlier this season at Elland Road.
The Whites haven't completed a league double over Ipswich in a season since the 2001/02 campaign, when both clubs competed in the Premier League.
Only matches involving Hull (83) have seen more Championship goals than games involving Ipswich this season (78).
Leeds haven't won their opening away league match in a calendar year since 2009, when they won 2-0 at Brighton in League One; they've drawn two and lost six since.
So that's it then, time to sort things out get the Away Win and do the double over Ipswich, if only it was that easy.........McCarthy will have his lads well up for this one and Prutts and Eddie Gray both reckon we'll come away with a point acceptable I suppose, but i'm hoping for a 1-2 scoreline with Cibicki and Dallas (if he plays) getting the goals

He's not agressive player, so I assume something has been said to him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think their guy put his head towards him and he reacted. Stupid but they were at it all game. They were looking for reactions and got one in the end.

What's going on with Pontus? That rumour he stormed
out of training? Acting like a Viking on a weekend pillage.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That was a lie I think.

Rich- hopefully they wont appeal it. cant stand him or Phillips. Our centre mids in league 1 were better than we have now.

If Vieira returns then it's not such a big deal having O'Kane out.
Very lucky PJ didn't go too!
