Team News
Leeds United
Leeds hope to have Tyler Roberts available to face Hull as their injury worries begin to ease.
Roberts has been out since November due to injury but forward Patrick Bamford will not be back until January.
Liam Cooper is nearing a return from knee surgery and Gaetano Berardi is recovering from a torn hamstring.
Izzy Brown (hamstring) and Stuart Dallas (foot) remain out.

Hull City
Hull will be without Wednesday's match-winner Jackson Irvine who scored a brace in the 2-1 away win over Preston but has gone to the Asian Cup with Australia.
Jordy De Wijs could continue to deputise for the injured Ondrej Mazuch, while Eric Lichaj and Reece Burke could be in contention to start.
On-loan defender Tommy Elphick is likely to be recalled by Aston Villa in January.

Match Facts
Leeds United have alternated between winning and drawing in each of the last five league fixtures against Hull (W3 D2), including a 1-0 win earlier this season thanks to a Tyler Roberts strike.
Hull City have only won three of their 24 visits to Elland Road in the Football League, drawing six and losing the other 15 - including three of the last four.
Hull have recorded three consecutive league victories in the same season for the first time since January 2016 (a run of four in the Championship).

Leeds have won seven consecutive league games for the first time since September 2009 (a run of nine).
Leeds' Pablo Hernandez has provided five more assists than any other Championship player in 2018 (15 assists).
Hull City manager Nigel Adkins has only lost one of his four Championship visits to Elland Road as a manager (W2 D1), although that was with Hull in this exact fixture last season (0-1).

So we're looking to do the double and extend our excellent run to 8 games.
Hull looking full of confidence and a good fast attacking side might give us a few problems, so I think i'll play safe and go for a 2-1 Win (would prefer 2-0 just to give the old heart a chance to recover after the last 2 games )
