Leeds v Burnley-team news

Leeds go into tonights match boosted by the return of Paul Butler. The skipper has completed his two match ban and returns alongside Clarke Carlisle at the back.

Matthew Kilgallon is likely to move to left back, freeing up Danny Pugh to go back to left midfield. This may mean that Simon Johnson would drop to the bench, but the youngster would be unlucky to do so after impressing on Sunday. He may be moved to his more natural right wing, with Fraser Richardson given a breather. Sean Gregan is struggling to shake off a knock, so Wright would come in to partner Walton. If Gregan is fit, Walton is likely to make way. Up front, Blackwell has to choose who will partner Healy. Deane missed a few chances against Wigan, and KB may feel it’s time to give Ricketts another run. Leeds really need a win to kick start their season – the game kicks off at 7.45
