Tonight, Garry Monk’s men are on the road again as they travel to Craven Cottage to take on Fulham, who are also vying for a play-off spot.

Unfortunately for Leeds, star striker Wood misses out ‘as a precaution’ this evening, with Souleymane Doukara taking his place to lead the line for Leeds.

Friday’s goalscorer Pedraza starts on the left, and will support Doukara alongside Hadi Sacko and Kemar Roofe, with Kalvin Phillips and Liam Bridcutt in holding midfield.

Luke Ayling misses out after the birth of his daughter, meaning Gaetano Berardi switches to right back, with Charlie Taylor at left back, whilst Pontus Jansson and Kyle Bartley start at centre back ahead of goalkeeper Robert Green.

Modou Barrow is again named on the Leeds bench, along with Marco Silvestri, Liam Cooper, Ronaldo Vieira, Pablo Hernandez, Stuart Dallas and Marcus Antonsson.

Meanwhile, hosts Fulham coasted past Preston North End with a 3-1 win on Saturday, as Slavisa Jokanovic’s men chase a play-off place.

Sone Aluko, Chris Martin and Neeskens Kebano all scored in that win and start in the Fulham attack tonight, with Tom Cairney and Stefan Johansen also supporting the attack.

Kevin McDonald protects the back four, with Ryan Fredericks, Tomas Kalas, Tim Ream and Scott Malone ahead of goalkeeper David Button.

Teenage wonderkid Ryan Sessegnon is on the bench, along with Marcus Bettinelli, Denis Odoi, Michael Madl, Ragnar Sigurdsson, Scott Parker and Cyriac Gohi Bi.
