Leeds could be boosted by the return of defender Patrick Kisnorbo and midfielder Neil Kilkenny for the league clash at Hartlepool.Manager Simon Grayson will also have new signing Max Gradel and loanees Gary McSheffrey and Shane Lowry - all ineligible for the FA Cup defeat to Tottenham - available again as his side shift their attentions to their promotion bid.Kisnorbo missed out in midweek with an Achilles/calf injury and Kilkenny was sidelined due to an ankle problem.Grayson is expected to recall McSheffrey and Lowry to his starting line-up, while Gradel is likely to take his place on the substitutes bench.Leeds, who won their first league match in five attempts against Colchester last Saturday, will be hoping to reclaim top spot from nearest rivals Norwich.
