Leeds travel South

Leeds go into battle with 2nd place Swansea today. Simon Grayson's side were victorious at Elland Road when the sides met in September. Goals from Bradley Johnson and Luciano Becchio completed a second half comeback to record a 2-1 win. United are without Johnson today, the midfielder was dismissed for a second bookable offence on Tuesday night.

Swansea have been in blistering form since losing to rivals Cardiff. The Swans find themselves second in the form table only behind Leicester. City beat Coventry in mid-week whilst Leeds could only manage a draw in a 6 goal thriller with Barnsley. Scott Dobie is vying for a place in the starting eleven today after coming on to score the winner in mid-week. Garry Monk and Andrea Orlandi will miss through injury again.

Leeds will most likely adopt a change of shape in the absence of Johnson. Grayson will probably prefer a 4-4-2, this means he should hand a start to either Davide Somma, Billy Paynter or Ross McCormack. Paul Connolly is the only absence through injury which means loanee Eric Lichaj will continue at right back. The Whites will be looking to bounce back from two consecutive draws. The players might have been encouraged as 5,000 fans turned out at the White Rose centre to meet the players on Thursday.
