Leeds United will look to add to their four-game unbeaten run in the Championship this Saturday, as Marcelo Bielsa's side welcome Blackburn Rovers to Elland Road.
The Whites will be heading into this weekend's game brimming with confidence after home wins over Birmingham City and QPR and draws away at Preston and Sheffield Wednesday have started an unbeaten run which they will look to carry on.
Last time out, Mark Warburton's QPR were put to the sword as Leeds won 2-0, the first time this season that the Elland Road crowd has seen two league goals in a game.
Meanwhile, Blackburn Rovers have failed to hit the ground running yet this season, registering five wins, three draws and seven losses from their opening 15 league fixtures. Tony Mowbray see's his side sit in 16th place in the Championship table on 18 points, just six points above the relegation zone.
Blackburn will be looking to carry confidence from and build on their 2-1 win over Sheffield Wednesday at home last weekend, which was Rovers' first win in seven.
Team news
Bielsa revealed this week that 20-year-old striker Eddie Nketiah, who is on a season-long loan from Premier League side Arsenal, is still out with an abdominal injury which is likely to keep him out of action for the next few weeks.
However, Leeds can welcome back 30-year-old left-back Barry Douglas after recovering from a knee problem, but Ezgjan Alioksi (hip) and Jamie Shackleton are still out.
Elsewhere, Blackburn boss Tony Mowbray has no new injury or suspension concerns heading into Saturday's game.
