Leeds United host Fulham at Elland Road tonight in a clash that sees 17th take on 18th in the Sky Bet Championship.

The hosts have won just one game in their last six and will be hoping to punish a Fulham side with a notoriously weak defence.

Still not certain to avoid relegation, both sides will be looking to take the three points in a game where Leeds fans hope to see a repeat of the display at Premier League Watford, just losing out to Scott Wooton's own goal.

The Whites however, will be without inform Guisseppe Bellusci who is serving a two-game ban after receiving his 10th booking of the season in Saturday's FA Cup defeat at Watford.

Sol Bamba is likely to start in his replacement alongside fellow centre back Liam Cooper who is hoping to have recovered from a minor injury. Gaetano Berardi could return after two months on the sideline with an ankle injury.

Fulham are still without Cauley Woodrow (broken metatarsal) and Lasse Christensen (hamstring), but Dan Burn could play a part after overcoming an ankle injury.

Here's THREE things to look out for in tonight's game.......

Leeds' mentality

evanssssss....

After bowing out of the FA cup to Watford on Saturday, it will be interesting to see if Steve Evans' men come out firing or were weakened by their defeat.

Wholesale changes are not expected in the Leeds side so fatigue may certainly play its part.

Playing at Elland Road maybe threatening for some sides but Fulham thrashed QPR at Loftus Road in their last away trip, could this away form continue?

Fulham's starting XI

Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic openly admitted that he picked the wrong team in the first half in their clash with Charlton, so changes are expected in Fulham's starting 11.

Ex-England international Scott Parker is likely to keep his place with Jamie O'Hara in the centre of midfield.

Leeds have been consistently poor at home so it will be interesting to see how Fulham approach the game from the off.

Ross McCormack

Receiving the nickname "Ross McContract" from Leeds fans after negotiating new deals on a regular basis, the Scotsman will return to Elland Road on the opposing team tonight.

After captaining Leeds before making the move down south, McCormack will undoubtedly receive a mixed reception from the Leeds faithful.

Beside this, McCormack has proved to be clinical finisher and Leeds should be wary of the threat he possesses.
