Leeds United are gearing up for a must win game against fellow Premier League strugglers Leicester City in a night under the lights at Elland Road. The Whites are looking to put an end to their three game winless run and send a big statement to their relegation rivals.
Leicester City are full of confidence heading into the game having beaten Wolves 2-1 last time out and are set to welcome Harvey Barnes and James Maddison back to the matchday squad. In contrast, Javi Gracia admitted some players may miss the clash with the Foxes, given the quick turnaround in fixtures.
Max Wober and Liam Cooper were back in the starting XI in the defeat to the Cottagers at the weekend, but were both impressive having been out of the side in recent weeks. The Whites' head coach didn't name players, but said some may miss the game on Tuesday night, when asked about the two aforementioned players.

Stuart Dallas and Tyler Adams are the only known absentees, both of whom have long-term injuries. Adam Forshaw returned to the fold against the Cottagers but Gracia said the club needed to manage his return to fitness.
Leeds United squad to face Fulham: Illan Meslier, Joel Robles, Kristoffer Klaesson; Diogo Monteiro, Rasmus Kristensen, Pascal Struijk, Robin Koch, Junior Firpo, Luke Ayling; Adam Forshaw, Darko Gyabi, Weston McKennie, Brenden Aaronson, Marc Roca, Jack Harrison, Luis Sinisterra, Crysencio Summerville, Archie Gray, Sam Greenwood; Sonny Perkins, Rodrigo, Georginio Rutter, Wilfried Gnonto, Mateo Joseph, Patrick Bamford.
Doubts: Liam Cooper, Max Wober.
