Leeds United travel to Pride Park tonight to face off against Gary Rowett's promotion chasing Derby County side.

Whites boss Paul Heckingbottom will be looking to secure his first three points in charge of Leeds United tonight.

The former Barnsley boss is able to utilise Samuel Saiz, Gaetano Berardi and Liam Cooper, with them all returning from suspension.

Hecky has some big team selection calls to make for this particular fixture, and could opt to chop and change the side that came back to draw with Bristol City last time out in the league.

The Yorkshire side now currently reside in 12th spot in the Championship table, after a dreadful run of form has seen their hopes of a top six finish well and truly fade.

A win tonight could spark a last ditch resurgence up the table, and we have selected the XI that Heckingbottom must select to have a chance of beating the in-form Rams tonight.

The German keeper retains his spot in goal, despite a shaky display against Bristol City last time out.

The right-back is back from suspension and should be thrusted back into the starting XI for this clash.

Liam Cooper also is returning from suspension and his presence will be welcomed at the heart of the Whites defence.

Jansson is the brick wall at the back for Leeds United, and he'll retain his spot.

The former Club Brugge man has not made a spectacular start to life at Leeds, but he deserves to retain his spot.

Forshaw has looked top quality since arriving from Boro and he should start in the central midfield role.

Ronaldo Viera should partner Forshaw in the middle, his tenacity and aggression will complement Forshaw's style of play.

The Spaniard is top quality, and he should start out on the right.

Saiz simply has to be included - when on song, he is one of the best players in the second tier.

Ezgjan Alioski deserves to be re-introduced into the starting XI, he has the ability to change a game out of nowehere.

The big German striker should lead the line for the Whites, he found the net last time out against Bristol City.
