Same again for Leeds

Leeds head coach Steve Evans could name an unchanged starting line-up for the third successive game against Derby.

Evans has no new injury or suspension worries as Leeds bid to extend their unbeaten league run to six matches, but midfielder Alex Mowatt remains doubtful.

Mowatt is struggling to shake off a groin problem and was not included in the squad for Sunday's draw at Nottingham Forest.

Fellow midfielder Tom Adeyemi is in contention to start after recovering from a virus and central defender Sol Bamba is pushing for a recall having been among the substitutes for the last three matches.

Derby head coach Paul Clement is also expected to choose from an unchanged squad following the home win against Fulham on Boxing Day.

Goalkeeper Scott Carson (back) and midfielder Craig Bryson (knee) will be monitored, but both are likely to miss the trip to Elland Road.

Midfielder Will Hughes (knee), Max Lowe (hamstring) and fellow defender Craig Forsyth (knee) remain long-term absentees.

Leaders Derby, chasing a fourth straight win, have been beaten only once in 18 league games since losing 2-1 at home to Leeds in August.
