Disappointed Leeds head to Derby

After Leeds' bitter defeat to Millwall on Saturday Grayson's side are on their travels again as they are in much need of 3 points at Derby. Paul Connolly returned for Leeds on Saturday and he is in contention of facing his old club tonight.

Grayson has many options to his disposal with only Billy Paynter missing out through suspension. George McCartney and Sanchez Watt missed out on Saturday through injury and they both could be vying for a return. Ross McCormack was introduced for the final 10 minutes against Millwall and he will be hoping for more action against Derby. Loanee Jake Livermore replaced Barry Bannan in the starting 11 for the trip to Millwall and competition between the two loan players seems to be ripe for tonight.

Leeds slipped to 6th in the Championship after Reading leap frogged them with a win over out of touch Notts Forest. A win for United would keep their automatic promotion chase alive but far more importantly would go one step closer to securing a play-off place.

The Whites are still the leagues top scorers bagging a staggering 75 goals, they will be aiming on increasing that total tonight. Derby were 2 points clear of United in December but now find themselves 19 points adrift of the Yorkshire club.

Tonight should be another stern test for Leeds as Derby haven't lost in 7 but if United show the quality they have before this season back to back promotion could still be on the cards!
