Leeds v Walsall match preview

Riding a three match winning streak, Leeds visits Walsall Saturday as they continue their race towards promotion. Seventh in the table Simon Grayson's side rests three points behind closest rivals Oldham Athletic and a further two behind, Peterborough United, Scunthorpe United and Millwall all locked with fifty points.

For the match Walsall welcomes back Rhys Weston, Stephen Roberts and Michael Ricketts but are likely without Stephen Hughes who is questionable. Leeds appears fully fit with only long term absences Frazer Richardson and Paul Huntington unavailable.

Given the Leeds manager Simon Grayson stonewalls information on possible lineups, we can assume he'll continue to pair Lee Trundle with Jermaine Beckford and continue to use Bradley Johnson given his solid play.
