Leeds will be boosted by the return of three players as Samuel Saiz, Gaetano Berardi and Liam Cooper have all served their suspensions. Midfielder Saiz has completed a six-game ban, while defenders Berardi and Cooper have missed the last two and four matches respectively.

January signing Tyler Roberts has yet to make his debut for the club and remains sidelined due to a shin injury. Luke Ayling is still recovering from ankle surgery and fellow defender Conor Shaughnessy is out with a similar problem.

Highlights of the Sky Bet Championship match between Leeds United and Bristol City

Prutton's prediction

Derby's recent form might be starting to concern Gary Rowett. A few weeks ago they looked hot favourites to finish second behind Wolves, but only one win in five has allowed Cardiff and Aston Villa to climb back above them.

Leeds will be feeling good after that late comeback against Bristol City, but draws aren't good enough for them if they're going to get anywhere near the top six again. Both teams have to go for this one, and I'm backing an entertaining draw.

David Prutton predicts: 2-2 (16/1 with Sky Bet)
