Pivotal Yorkshire derby

Leeds entertain Doncaster on Saturday in a huge game at both sides. When these two sides met in September it ended in a stalemate. Davide Somma came closest that night for Leeds. Grayson will welcome back Bradley Johnson to his squad after serving his one match suspension. Grayson has ruled out Lloyd Sam who has been struck down with a virus. Paul Connolly will also miss out once again however he is close to a return.

Doncaster have been struck down by injury of late, but they travel to Elland Road today full of confidence after picking up a 3-1 win against Derby in midweek. Sean O'Driscoll will asses the fitness of Billy Sharp before today's match as well as several other first team players.

Leeds are the top goalscorers in the Championship this season which is worrying for Doncaster who have conceded the most goals in the League since the turn of the year. United are looking to secure their first win in four today after conceding a shocking 8 goals in their last three outings. Leeds will be pleased to be back at Elland Road, they are unbeaten in 11 home matches.

This is a huge game for Leeds after a crushing defeat to Swnasea last weekend. Some players have looked tired of late including players such as; Luciano Becchio and Robert  Snodgrass. I personally feel Grayson needs to ring the changes for today's match. Sanchez Watt and Ross McCormack both scored for the reserves at Hull midweek and could be in line for a starting spot. Grayson's squad selection has been very consistent throughout the season and the tired legs may be starting to show.
