Two changes for Boro at Elland Road
GARY O'NEIL is a notable absentee from the Middlesbrough squad at Leeds United this afternoon.[LNB] The midfielder, who created Boro's third goal at Preston, is not even among the substitutes at Elland Road and his place goes to Scott McDonald.[LNB] McDonald partners Leroy Lita in attack, meaning Marvin Emnes is likely to be played on the right flank.[LNB] Boro's only other change is the one that sees Nicky Bailey replace Mikael Tavares in the middle of midfield.[LNB] Middlesbrough, in need of the points to stay out of the relegation zone, are up against a Leeds team undefeated in 11 matches.[LNB] LEEDS UNITED (4-4-1-1): Schmeichel; Connolly, Collins, O'Brien, Hughes; Snodgrass, Johnson, Howson, Gradel; McCormack; Becchio. Subs: Higgs (gk), Bruce, Kilkenny, Paynter, Sam, Watt, Somma,[LNB] MIDDLESBROUGH (4-4-2): Steele; Hoyte, Bates, Wheater, Bennett; Emnes, Bailey, Thomson, Arca; McDonald, Lita. Subs: Boyd, Kink, Coyne (gk), Hines, Robson, McMahon, Tavares.[LNB]
