Double boost for Leeds

11 April 2011 16:30
Leeds pair George McCartney and Sanchez Watt could both return to contention at Derby following unspecified injuries. Defender McCartney was replaced in the squad for Saturday's 3-2 defeat at Millwall by Paul Connolly and manager Simon Grayson must decide whether to recall the Sunderland right-back. Grayson, who hopes to have a full-strength squad to choose from, switched Eric Lichaj, on loan from Aston Villa, to left-back at The Den. Grayson also handed a first start to Jake Livermore, on loan from Tottenham, and he will be hoping to retain his place, while another loanee, Aston Villa's Barry Bannan, and Neil Kilkenny are pushing for recalls to the starting line-up in midfield. Sixth-placed Leeds, who have lost three of their last four away matches, are four points clear of the chasing pack with six games left.
