Team News
Leeds United
Paul Heckingbottom is expected to choose from an unchanged squad for the home game against Sheffield Wednesday.
Heckingbottom has no new injury or suspension problems following last week's draw at Reading but none of his injured players will return to contention in time.
Centre-half Liam Cooper (dead leg), forward Kemar Roofe (calf) and goalkeeper Andy Lonergan (neck) all remain sidelined. Luke Ayling and Conor Shaughnessy (both ankle) are long-term absentees.

Sheffield Wednesday have been dealt another injury blow, with midfielder Sean Clare ruled out for the rest of the season. Clare joined the Owls' extensive list of absentees after sustaining an ankle injury in last week's home draw against Bolton.
Kieran Lee (hip) and Keiren Westwood (groin) remain sidelined, but defender Joost van Aken (hamstring), plus midfield pair Sam Hutchinson (hernia) and Barry Bannan (hip) could return to contention. Striker Fernando Forestieri (knee) is still out, but is hoping to return to full training on Friday and midfielder Marco Matias (knee) is also edging closer to a return to action.

Match Facts
Leeds have lost one of their last nine home league matches against Wednesday (W5 D3), a 3-2 defeat in March 2007 under Dennis Wise.
None of the last 39 league meetings between the teams have ended goalless and they haven't shared a 0-0 at Elland Road since October 1934.
Leeds have already conceded 13 home league goals in 2018 - they only conceded 16 goals at Elland Road in the Championship in the entirety of 2017.
Sheffield Wednesday have made 100 changes to their starting XI this season, more than any other Championship side.
Since the start of last season, Pablo Hernandez has assisted 14 Championship goals, five more than any other Leeds player in that time.
The Owls have lost one of their last 13 away Yorkshire derbies in league competition (W5 D7), though that defeat was at Elland Road last season.

Not an easy game (never is ) but i'm thinking we might nick a 3-1 Win this time with Jansson, Pablo and Samu getting the goals

Looks like a bottom half finish for the season now. Such high hopes at the start of the season but losing the spine of the team Green/Bartley/Wood was always going to set us back.

PH OUT NOW. No more. The guy is clueless, as we’re the idiots that appointed him. They (Orta!) can go NOW too.

Simply disgusting this result and all of the results in the last months - just a disgraceful team and coach and directors and the lost are just rotten to the core.
