Leeds are without three players due to injury, while Junior Firpo serves the final game of his three-match suspension, picked up in the 1-0 defeat by Millwall prior to this month’s international break.
Luton, on the other hand, welcome one back from a suspension and another from injury. Both of whom are expected to be involved in the matchday squad.
Here is a round-up of the injuries and possible absentees we’re expecting at Elland Road in midweek.
