Here is how we predict Leeds United and Blackburn Rovers will line up this week:

To be played on Wednesday 1st February 2017 at 19:45. Venue: Ewood Park, Blackburn

Odds: Blackburn 2/1, Draw 23/10, Leeds 7/5

Leeds United travel to Elland Road this evening to take on Blackburn Rovers in their latest Championship encounter.

The Whites had a busy transfer deadline day, bringing in Alfonso Pedraza and Mo Barrow but neither player will feature tonight, with their debuts likely to come on Sunday against Huddersfield.

Leeds manager Garry Monk still has plenty of options to choose from and he will want to get back to winning ways after he saw his side crash out of the FA Cup to non-league Sutton United on Saturday.

The only player who started that match that has a shot of starting against Rovers is attacker Souleymane Doukara, but given his lack of impact against Sutton it could be a completely different starting XI.

Leeds are without defender Liam Cooper due to suspension while left-back Charlie Taylor is not yet ready to return from injury.

With that in mind here is how we expect the Whites and their opponents to line up later today:
