Liam Bridcutt could sign for Leeds before Fulham clash

Leeds are hoping to strike a deal for Sunderland midfielder Liam Bridcutt ahead of their clash with Fulham.

The Whites have lost their first two Championship games under Garry Monk and Bridcutt, who was on loan with the club last season, is seen as a remedy to that ill.

Full-back Gaetano Berardi is out for up to six weeks so Luke Ayling will continue after an impressive debut against Birmingham.

Monk looks likely to stick with striker Chris Wood after an indifferent start to the season.

Fulham midfielder Jozabed Sanchez Ruiz could make his debut at Elland Road.

Jozabed joined the Cottagers from Rayo Vallecano last week but was not included in the side that beat Preston on Saturday.

Defender Ryan Fredericks remains unavailable as he recovers from ankle surgery while David Button is expected to keep his place in goal, despite the return to fitness of Marcus Bettinelli.

Fulham will be looking to maintain a 100 per cent start to the season after winning both of their opening two matches.
